More what we became used to in this episode of the series. Simon meets a damsel in distress while on the plane to Paris and after her brother is murdered, he sets out to help her. Beautiful women, colourful locations(even if stock footage of Paris!), an evil criminal mastermind, meddling policemen, fist fights, all add up to a pleasing story.
Setting the standard for what the formula would be in the future years, this is a fast paced tail of intrigue and hits the ground running, very little padding makes for an exciting tale.
However it does take a little leap of suspension of disbelief in the plot line to imagine the very youthful Simon Templar been a part of the French resistance in the 2nd World War! He must have been fighting the Nazis in a nappy/diaper.
