The Adventures of the Saints, starring Vincent Price.
The Saints, based on characters created by Leslie Charteris, 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. On my way, Mr. Templer. Hands up. Uh-huh. I said hands up. Are you crazy or something? Do you want me to shoot you? Look, I'm not crazy. I'm not even something. Then go right back inside. Now, wait a minute. We must not lose our heads because... Sit down over there, Mr. Templer. Mr. Templer?
But I ain't... Sit down.
Okay. Sitting down, but I still ain't Mr. Templer.
Don't think you can escape what's coming to you by lying to me.
I never lie to blunts. And besides, my name is Louie. Mr. Templer invited me over to dine, you know, for dinner. I drive a cab. Does Mr. Templer drive a cab? Well, no, but... Well, you see, that proves I'm not Mr. Templer.
It does not. Where's your cab if you're a cab driver?
Out in the street.
You're trying to trick me into leaving.
No, lady, you can't keep a cabin in an apartment.
Who are the main characters introduced in the story?
What would the landlord say?
Stop trying to fool me. Just give me that picture.
What picture?
I'm Sally Blair.
Yeah, I'm Louie. I'm pleased to meet you. I want my sister's picture. I haven't got your sister's picture. I haven't even got my picture.
I'm warning you.
I haven't even got a sister.
If I have to kill you to get it, I'll kill you.
Lady, that's against the law.
I ask any policeman... This is your last chance. Are you going to give me the picture, or will I have to shoot you? I think you'd better shoot me, Miss Blair.
Oh, Mr. Templer, I'm very glad to see you.
I didn't knock. It's not polite, but, well, it is my apartment. What seems to be the trouble?
I... I... Oh, God.
Hey, all of a sudden, she's crying. So I noticed. Look, I don't like to mention this in front of a crying woman, Mr. Templer, but... That's a gun she still got in her hand.
Yes, I think I'll take it, Miss Blair. Thank you. It wasn't loaded.
It wasn't loaded? So what was I scared about?
Miss Blair.
I'm a fool.
Probably, although a pretty one. Who is your sister?
Valerie Marsh. But you already know that.
I do now. I didn't before you told me.
But you must have known you have her picture and I... A picture of her doing what? sunbathing at the beach in Miami with Pete.
Mr. Templer, you know... Pete, of course, would not be Mr. Marsh. Presumably, then, the picture of Mrs. Marsh with a friend in Miami, probably taken at a time when she told her husband she was elsewhere, would be valuable for what? A divorce case?
Now you're admitting you knew all about it.
I'm being bright. Humor me. Your name is Blair. Your sister's name is Marsh. You're not wearing a wedding ring, however. Therefore, it's your sister who must be married into a man named Marsh. Simple?
Maybe for guys that went to college. Me, I played hooky from kindergarten. To me, it ain't simple. But it's true. Am I right, Miss Blair?
I... I don't know, because you should have known all these things before this. Because, after all, you did have my sister's picture.
Who told you that?
Valerie's husband, Theodore Marsh. And he ought to know, oughtn't he?
I don't know. Let's go ask him.
Mr. Templer, you're walking into a lion's den. I'm driving there in a cab. Yeah, but your name ain't Daniel.
No, however, Miss Blair needs help. Right, Miss Blair?
It isn't help. It's... Well, it's clearing things up.
Well, perhaps we can get started on that right away. Exactly what did your sister's husband, Theodore Marsh, say in reference to me?
Well, after he told Valerie he was going to divorce her, he said you had a picture of her and Pete taken in Miami two months ago.
Where was he at the time?
Out west someplace on business.
Your sister really was in Miami?
Yes.
She was at the beach with Pete?
Yes.
Pete what?
Brian.
But of course it was the merest coincidence, huh?
