Female bank executives lead lives of quiet desperation. It takes only a few kind words, a backrub and a pitcher of cosmopolitans to turn them into embezzling love slaves. That’s the sad moral of the made-for-cable movie “Ladies Night” (8 p.m. today, USA).

Based on true events, the film follows the charming predator Art Kirkland (Paul Michael Glaser) as he and his son seek out lonely women with access to large sums of money to wine, dine, bamboozle and then murder. His trail of evil only comes to light when insurance investigators Jesse Grant (Colin Ferguson) and Susan Vercillino (Claudette Mink) attempt to recover embezzled funds for a powerful client. Viewers of a certain age may recognize Glaser as the original Starsky from “Starsky and Hutch,” the cop and car drama that ran from 1976 to 1979.
