The Adventures of the Saints, starring Vincent Price.
The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Travers and known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The Robin Hood of modern crime now comes transcribed to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as... The Saint.
All right, all right, I'm coming. Wait until I put my head on, can't you? You? Well, this is an unexpected displeasure. I gotta talk to you, Saint, quick. Let me in. All right, Blanco. But I'm surprised at you. Four o'clock in the morning is no time for a man in your profession to pay social calls. Like I say, I gotta talk, and you gotta listen. I'm listening. They got a job gonna be pulled tomorrow. Today, I mean. It's a big deal, Saint. Big deal. I'm glad. I'd hate to think you'd retired from crime, Blanco. It would throw so many deserving policemen out of work. It's a dirty deal. Filthy. Sounds like something right up your alley. Not this kind of thing, Saint. This is one line I draw.
And it's a straight line, you hear? Yes, I hear. Before I know what the score is, before I know who they're going to use it on, I rig it. The best job of its kind I ever do.
It's gonna work. And he ain't gonna leave a trace. Yeah, I should never have had that spumoni right after a lobster dinner. Blanco, do you think if I get up and take some bicarb, you and the rest of this dream will go away? Listen to me. I can't go to the cops.
You're the only one. You gotta stop it, Satan. You gotta.
I gotta?
Yeah, you gotta.
And you only got till noon. Blanco, at the rate you're painting this picture, it's going to be at least noon before I know what it's all about. It's about murder. Oh, well, let's get down to personalities. Who is going to be murdered by whom? Why and how? Let's have the name of the potential victim as an appetizer, huh? We'll get down to the main course later. That calls for a kind of complicated answer. It was kind of a complicated question. But do your best. Neatness counts. You remember Frank Kane? Of the Chicago Kanes? Of course. Who could ever forget the inventor of the game of encase your friends in a barrel of cement and dump them in the river? Yeah, you'll remember. I also remember that when the federal men were just about to catch up with him in Central America a few years ago, he was discourteous enough to die a natural death.
Yeah.
Somebody died in Central America three years ago.
Not Frank Kane?
There are places where a buck here and a buck there can get any moniker you want on a death certificate. And Kane had plenty of bucks. Getting the corpse to plant in that same monarchy is easy. So Frank Kane's still alive. Yeah, he's alive. But that ain't all. He used to... Wait.
You hear something?
Why does Blanco show up at the Saint’s door and what does he reveal?
What sort of something? Someone moved in the hall. Now pour yourself some brandy and try and get your nerves back into waltz time, eh, Blanco? Now look, what about Frank Kane? You sure you didn't hear something? I... Turn off the lights. Get down. Blanco.
Blanco. Talk a little. Worry about me. The girl. Don't let them kill her. Who, Blanco, who? She on way to party. The car seat. The car.
Don't let it... It's good to see you again, Mr. Templer. And here I've been thinking you'd given up after all this drinking.
I just about have. And it's a pity because I like this bar of yours, Morgan. Why don't you make an honest saloon out of it and open up during legal hours?
My customers would never stand for it.
No?
My customers all learn to drink during prohibition. And speakeasies. The way they look at it, a drink just doesn't have any kick in it if it's legal.
And this is the part of the lost generation that's still lost, eh? Would you like a table? Just some information. Yes? About a year ago, when I was one of your regular patrons, a lady used to frequent this place. A lady in this place? Her name was Violet, and so was the color of her hair. She used to sit at a table around the bend there and make tender speeches to a bottle of scotch.
