King with a touching story? (5)

I believe the answer is:

midas

(Other definitions for midas that I've seen before include "His touch made gold" , "Legendary king whose touch turned anything to gold" , "King who turned what he touched to gold" , "One with a golden touch" , "Greek mythological king with money-making touch" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
