About The Great Detectives Present the Saint (Old Time Radio)
The Saint "The Robin Hood of Modern Crime" much like Boston Blackie was introduced a thief who robbed from the ungodly. By the 1940s, he'd mostly reformed and came to radio as a crime solver. Enjoy every episode featuring Hollywood legend Vincent Price along with episodes starring Tom Conway and Barry Sullivan.
Today's Mystery: Simon Templar agrees to help Wendy Brown, who fears the return of Harry Morgan, a notorious criminal she double-crossed before he fled the country. When a former prizefighter with advance knowledge of Morgan’s arrival is murdered, Simon begins to suspect there is more behind Morgan’s homecoming than a simple quest for revenge.
