Not the Saint we are used to from the many later episodes of this long running series. Here the Saint resides in New York, matches wits with the local American police force and has some halfwit help in what appears to be his manservant, Hoppy. Also, he is not adverse to using a firearm when required.
And worst of all, not one of the better stories either, very predictable and slow and somewhat out of character from what we became used to, still, this is only the third in the series and still finding the formula that worked so well over the intervening years.
A reporter friend of Simon's is callously murdered by a crooked union boss and it's up the Saint to bring him to justice and in this case, poetic justice. I assume this is based on one of Leslie Charteris novels and is probably what the Saint really should be like as he created the character! But it's not the Saint of the TV that we know.
