The Adventures of The Saint, starring Vincent Price. The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Charters and known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures.

Hello, Templer's Mortuary.
Mr. Simon Templer?
Unfortunately.
Littleton is calling.
What time is it?
At the sound of the... I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to give that information. Littleton is calling.
All right, put him on.
One moment, please. Hello?
Hello?
Is this Simon Templer?
Yes, it is.
Well, my name is Shirley Gray... Please, I need your... Yes, go on.
Hello.
Sammy.
Who are you talking to?
Oh, well, I was just calling you at the theater.
You knew I was with the cops. Hang it up.
All right. Hello. I'm sorry I bothered you. Sammy just got back.
Hello. Hello.
Your party has hung up, sir.
So they have. Thank you. Shirley Gray. Shirley Gray. Of course. Homicide, Lieutenant Schwartz.
Who are the main characters involved in the investigation?
Guess who? Oh, no. Templer? No, no, no, no, no. You hate me, don't you?
Templer, this is the Homicide Bureau. I am up to the cleft of my rugged chin in work. I got maniacs confessing to murders that never happened.
I got murderers caught in the act who say, who, me? And now, now, I got, I got Templer. Yes, Lieutenant? Templer, you got something to say, say it. Anyone for badminton? Templer, I... Okay, Lieutenant, I just want some information.
Read the newspapers, Templer. They whip up the crime waves, I don't.
Well, then what do journalism's juvenile delinquents have to say about events in the city of Littleton today?
You don't know?
I couldn't even guess.
Well, stay happy. Go back to bed.
Lieutenant, I'll write a letter to the Times.
Okay, Templer, have it your way. You ever hear of a bandleader named Terry Richards?
Of course. You mean the one they call the real gone guy?
I hope to hold your half note, Templer. He's real gone, all right. So gone he's dead. He was strangled.
Oh? Well, thank you, Lieutenant, for your first exclusive.
Look, if you're figuring to butt in, Templer, I wouldn't.
Now, you know me better than... You remember Lieutenant Ruggles? Old Meathead?
Old Meathead. Well, he's now chief of police at Littleton. You'd better stay out of his way.
Well, I wouldn't dream of getting in his way, or would I?
I'm not kidding, Templer. Terry Richards was a real big name. Ruggles wants this one for himself. You get in his way, he'll have you so deep in the pokey, they'll be feeding you with a pea shooter and... Hey, on second thought, is that bad?
Lieutenant.
Yes, Templer?
Did someone spike your bubble gum this morning? Yes, I... Goodbye, pal.
