- Synopsis:
The Saint never abandons a friend, so when his old pal Inspector Henry Fernack (Jonathan Hale) of the New York Police Department is accused of corruption, Simon Templar takes the first cruise liner to the Big Apple to sort things out - his way. Teaming up with small time loser 'Pearly' Gates (Paul Guilfoyle), The Saint discovers that the biggest racketeering case in years has collapsed. With the head detective discredited and the star witness ruthlessly gunned down, all the mobsters have walked free... The trouble is, now those same mobsters are all coming down with fatal cases of lead poisoning - and Templar's friend Inspector Fernack is always at the scene of the crime. Is he out to settle the score personally? And just who is the mystery brunette (Wendy Barrie) with a habit of pulling a disappearing act whenever Templar saves her from trouble? As one murder follows another, The Saint is running out of time to crack his most baffling case... - Actors:
