Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a 2023 interview for 'Infinity' magazine, Annette Andre described her experience of being on this show. She recounted how surprised she was that so many scenes had to be shot in one take due to the time pressures involved and that she described the director as being verbally abusive to her. She said she was so upset that Roger Moore took her to one side, held her hand and said "He's not a nice man is he! But don't worry, you'll be fine". She said that Moore was a "charming man" and really helped her get through her scenes. Despite her initial bad experience she was surprised when she was offered parts in other episodes during the series run and appeared in four more stories after this one.

The Saint Steps In
It is always interesting when an episodic television series shakes up the formula for a story.
Two men at the bar poke fun at the Saint. Like how he always gets approached by a woman in danger.
A few seconds later, Madeline Gray seeks out Simon Templar. Her father is a scientist who has invented a new revolutionary formula for textiles. She thinks both her life and her father's life is in danger.
Templar sends Madeline on her way, thinking the other two men at the bar put her up to it for a gag.
Only they did not. When he catches up with Madeline, she is being attacked by two men.
An American buyer is due to purchase her father's formula for a million dollars. However a British industrialist Hobart Quennel has shown no interest. Maybe someone is trying to sabotage a British deal.
A layered story with several crafty twists. The Saint seems to be in real peril. There is a spoiled brat who initially seems to be a nuisance to Templar.
There is a good cast here from Geoffrey Keen, Peter Vaughan and Michael Robbins.
