The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price. The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Trotter, 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. Oh, open up, please. Hurry. Well, to what do I owe this... Oh, come on, close the door. I've been followed.
What is the significance of the whiskey glass in the story?
Naturally, you're a blonde. I assure you, the men who followed me weren't interested in the color of my hair. Don't tell me they were chasing you for your money. No, dear, not my money, my life. Well, it's good to be here finally. I've come a long way to see you, Simon. Oh, well, if I'd known you were coming... You didn't expect me? You're as unexpected as Yankee bean soup on a menu in Moscow, but infinitely more welcome. You... You weren't contacted? You didn't speak to Maxim? The only Maxim I know happens to be a restaurant in Paris. Oh. They intercepted him. And we were so sure he wasn't even known to them that his cover was... We'll have to proceed on our own, Simon.
How does Simon navigate the threats from rival groups?
We can do it. Of course we can do it. But what? What particular type of melodrama are we playing? I... I'd better tell you the whole story, everything. You have the Sultan's ear, Scheherazade. Or what is your name? Claire. Claire. Oh, sit down, Claire. Thank you. I've just come back from Mexico City. He was there. He's changed in the last five years, Simon.
What clues lead Simon to uncover the fugitive's identity?
You'd never recognize him. It must have been plastic surgery. He doesn't look... I see. And now I know everything? Did you hear something? What sort of something? Outside the door. I thought I heard a footstep. Simon, the blinds. Pull down the blinds. Stupid of me not to have done it immediately. Why are you staring out the window? Is someone... Is one of them a little man in a badly fitting suit? At least two sizes too large for him in a large floppy hat? He's there?
How does the story reveal the connections to World War II?
Yeah, he's there. And the other one? The large one? And he's there. All of them. Come away from the window, Simon. He needn't bother pulling the other blind down now. Who are they, Claire? Which wild Halloween are those two types left over from? How many more of them are there? How many more? Hundreds, Simon. Perhaps thousands. We'll never know exactly. We must go, Simon, at once.
What twists occur as Simon confronts the antagonist?
Shouldn't we have a little explaining before we do any going? There isn't time. Those two down there will be coming up soon, and when they do... You must trust me, Simon. You must. Come on, Claire. Come on.
Is there anyone... Do you think we were followed, Simon? Is there anyone behind us? Look, in Grand Central Station, there are always people behind you.
