It's such an innicent thank you? Excuse me? Do 26 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,879 you mind? If I sit down here with you? I'd be happiest. 27 00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,599 Oh, thank you. I hope you realize I wouldn't approach a perfect stranger 28 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:16,000 if it wasn't a matter of life or death. Oh I'm sure he is 29 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,919 a matter of life or death. That's why I had to sit down with 30 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,000 the handsomest man in the room. You well, but you certainly aren't much 31 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,960 of a conversationalist. Well, happily you fill the gap. Now, how 32 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,080 may I be of service in this matter of life or death? Do you 33 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:34,319 think you could gaze into my eyes as if I was the only woman in 34 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000 the entire world, but don't make it anything personal. Well, I consider 35 00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,039 it a thestic channel. I want you to hug me with your eyes. 36 00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:45,919 Well, I spurn you proudly, la Bell. Damn. Well, now, 37 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:50,520 how's this for an odd and yet humble gaze? Not now, he's 38 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,599 not watching. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be fresh. Who's he, 39 00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:59,520 Marvin? He's over there with that that woman. He's looking out of 40 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,400 the way. I want if you look at me this, I shall have 41 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,080 to see Doc turn around. They're leaving. They'll see you. Well, 42 00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:10,039 shall I start hugging you now? I'm sure it will be good for the 43 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,439 muscles in my eyes. Yes, I'm hugging. Stop. Why he never 44 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:20,319 even noticed me? He walked right on out. Oh man, I'm sorry, 45 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,279 Carl, but would you mind changing that coffee to a double brandy? 46 00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:29,959 But I never drink not for you, dear me. Did he say, 47 00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:34,160 mister Templar, Not Simon Templar, Simon Templer, the Saint, the robin 48 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,879 hood of modern crime. Fate has led you to me. Yea, I 49 00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:43,720 must have a word with fate and before fate entangles us further. What's your 50 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,279 name, Alice? Alice Parks, but you can call me Alice. Thank 51 00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:50,959 you, Alice. Could you give me an explanation of this in a few 52 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,560 thousand well chosen words? You mean to say, you haven't figured it out, 53 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,120 and you are perfectly marvelous detective. Well, I'm a little slow, 54 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,959 Alice. The heavy meal, Well that was Marvin, Marvin Hickerson. We 55 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:08,720 were engaged practically, and then he came to the city. He's a scientific 56 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:11,639 farmer, but he sold his farm for how much, may I ask? 57 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,319 Fifty thousand dollars? How scientific can you get? He said he had to 58 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,720 come here to pursue his new vocation to the city. I mean, and 59 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,639 what is his new vocation? Oh, he's a private eye. Well, 60 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:25,639 I guess there's always room for one more. You do, see, don't 61 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,000 you? It's good? See what how horrible the whole thing is. Marvin 62 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,680 has met this this woman, and I found out he's drawn out. He's 63 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,800 whole fifty thousand dollars out of the bank this morning, And while he's carrying 64 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,240 it around with him. Now nobody will help me. I don't know what 65 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,040 to do. Alice, tell me, are you worried about Marvin or are 66 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,120 you worried about the money. Oh? I'm only worried about Marvin, mister 67 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,439 Templer. He's an awful dope, but I love him. I see if 68 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,920 you would go to him and tell him, well, the facts, the 69 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,720 facts you know about life. Well, frankly, I'm not feeling very fatherly 70 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:03,240 at the moment, but I'll try you will you really? Will you swear 71 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,439 it by something sacred? I swear it by something. Oh, mister Templar, 72 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:24,519 you're the nicest detective a girl ever had for a detective. Come in, 73 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,240 mister Hickerson, Marvin Hickerson, private eye, come in, come in. 74 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:32,639 Oh thank you? Now, what's your problem, mister Templer? I 75 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,120 wanted to talk to you about a girl, Marvin, a girl. You're 76 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,240 in your apartment alone? And then she walked in, Well, not exactly. 77 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,279 It was more than the maker around her shoulders meant money in her smoldering 78 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:50,000 eyes meant trouble. Marvin. Tiny pulse started to beat in your temple as 79 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,199 she swayed closer, and it became a tom tom if she threw herself into 80 00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,319 your arms, murmuring words of passion and fear of Marvin. Get a grip 81 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,360 on yourself. Oh girl, Yes there is a girl, Marvin, but 82 00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:06,439 you are not sand stayed you noticed. Huh. Well, we've all got 83 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,399 to start somewhere, true, And I can't take your case anyway. I'm 84 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,519 involved in a big deal, Marvin. Alice is worried about you. Alice, 85 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,399 mister Templar. Alice Parks has got to learn that I am not a 86 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,800 child. I'm a man. I'll accept that. And the sooner she stops 87 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:29,759 interfering in my affairs, the better it'll be for everybody. Just because I 88 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:34,560 now happen to be going around with a woman, definitely a woman who is 89 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,439 going to put me in way of making a great deal of money. And 90 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,720 hello, Marvin, how ye oh uh oh, mister Dorgan, who's your 91 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,720 friend, Marvin? This is mister Templar, Mister Templar, this is mister 92 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:53,040 Dorgan, honest Jack Dorgan. He trains horses. He's from Kentucky, Kentucky. 93 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,879 Yeah, glad to meet you, mister Dorgan. So you're from the 94 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,560 Bluegrass country. Huh, the bluegrass country, the home of fast horses and 95 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,240 beautiful women. Where's that Kentucky? Oh oh yeah, yeah, sure, 96 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,360 come on, Marvin, Ah sure, mister Dargan, would you excuse us? 97 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,720 We got a very important appointment, and Marvin has also got fifty thousand 98 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:16,480 dollars? Who is this guy, Marvin? He's got nose trouble, mister 99 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,920 Champler. If Alice Parks thinks I need someone to protect me, she's mistaken. 100 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,720 My experience is a private investigator has made me a pretty shrewd judge of 101 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,399 character, and my faith in the integrity of honest Jack Dorgan is unfounded. 102 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:33,919 Thank you, Marvin Hickerson. Right, come on, Marvin, the Colonel 103 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,440 and Carle are waiting. So long, friend, So long, honest Jack. 104 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,200 See you at Churchill Down sometimes. Where's that buy in your old home 105 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:56,120 state? Kentucky? Ooh, Kentucky, Kentucky. Mister Templar, I'm worried 106 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,279 about Marvin. Why doesn't he count? I'm a little worried about him myself. 107 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,919 Alice didn't have quite the same faith in honest Jack as Marvin did in 108 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,759 this penthouse. Marvin never had expensive taste, never in his life, and 109 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,480 her picture on the piano MM all my love. Marvey, Honey, you're 110 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,759 Coralie. It's rather sound true looking, isn't he? Oh? I suppose 111 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,279 she's pretty. You happen to care for that type? Who doesn't? Oh? 112 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,799 You men are all alike. It's a convenient arrangement. Oh, he's 113 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,279 just an absolute, an absolute beast. Don't you dare call Marvin a beast? 114 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,600 Why doesn't he come, mister templar? I think I heard the elevator 115 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,679 Alice that maybe Marvin, Hello else, you better let me have that gun, 116 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,080 Marvin. No, no, I'll need it. I'll need it when 117 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,879 they hunt me down in the inevitable land. Marvin, what's happened? Tell 118 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,120 me, Alice, mister templer, you see before you an outlaw, a 119 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,480 criminal. Give me the gun, Marvel. I have lived by the gun 120 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,799 and an days, hours, minutes. I don't die by the gun. 121 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,440 What did you do? Marvin, Alice sight, I killed a man? 122 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,039 Oh you didn't? I did? I think I did? It's all so 123 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,919 confused. Sit down, Marvin. There wasn't time. The police will be 124 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,559 after me, maybe with bloodhounds. Oh I doubt if they could track you 125 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,720 up the elevator shaft. Now, look, where was this killing? And 126 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,200 who got killed mister Dorgan in the hotel here in sweet A, on the 127 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,679 seventh floor. But you didn't do it. You couldn't tell him he didn't 128 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,120 do it, mister Template. Let him tell it, Dallas. What happened? 129 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,320 Marvin? It is all mixed up. There are a lot of people 130 00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,600 there, all betting a lot of money on the horses. And I was 131 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:46,120 there with the colonel and coral Lee and Carle. I knew she was mixed 132 00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:50,559 up in this go on. And I bet my fifty thousand on a tip 133 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,600 mister Dorgan gave us because he knew the race was fixed, and I won 134 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,960 two hundred thousand, And then mister Dorgan told me to bet it all on 135 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:03,039 another race that was but the horse lost and there was a big argument, 136 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,919 and somebody put a gun in my hand and it seemed to go off, 137 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:13,279 and and mister Dargan fell down and there was there was blood, blood all 138 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:18,679 over. It was awful. Did anyone call the police? I don't know. 139 00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:24,200 I get somebody. Did everybody saw it? I'm a murderer. You 140 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:28,080 are not, Marvin. Just because you killed someone, that doesn't make you 141 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,399 a murderer, does it? Mister Templar, I think I had better investigate 142 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240 this, Marvin. You wait here without him, he'll never take me a 143 00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,240 Lotvin, come back, Here's better this way, Alice, forget me, 144 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,399 forget it. Somewhere in the night, there's a pale, hundred tendingless fugitive 145 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:52,919 from justice. Find someone to take my place in your heart? Farewell, 146 00:11:52,120 --> 00:12:03,639 Marvin, Oh, mister Temple, didn't you No, Alice, I didn't. 147 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,879 He was already in the elevator. Oh what are we going to do? 148 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,080 Did he really murder someone? I think we'd better go find out. 149 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960 Come on, Alice, where are we going to sweet a seventh floor to 150 00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:31,320 see whether honest Jack Dorgan has really gone to his old Kentucky home. No 151 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,399 answer, But there must be someone in there, Marvin said, The room 152 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,320 is filled with people. Let's try the door. It's open dark in here. 153 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,120 Wait till I find the light switch. Well, do you have to 154 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,440 turn on the light? Can't we just leave? We have to find out, 155 00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:52,840 Alice. Yeah, but it's just a perfectly bare room. Doesn't look 156 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,039 much like a gambling then, does it. You don't see any body. 157 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,600 I don't see a sign of anything. Well, and it didn't happened. 158 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,759 Marvin was just imagining things. There wasn't any murder at all. This doesn't 159 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:07,000 look much like a room. A murder was committed in ten minutes before. 160 00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:13,200 Let's go, mister Templar, let's find Marvin and mister Templer. What are 161 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,200 you looking at that spot on the floor, Alice, that stain? Oh, 162 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:33,240 mister Templer, it isn't I'm afraid it is blood. I'm coming coming, 163 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Oh, Alice, come in, Oh, mister Templor. How could 164 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,960 you sleep so late with poor Marvin roaming the streets a hundred fugitive? Eh? 165 00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:50,080 What time is it? Well? I forced myself, And how do 166 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:54,639 we know Marvin is a hunted fugitive? Is there anything in the papers about 167 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:58,159 a killing? No?

Alice, did you change the bullet Yes, I did. I 338 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,200 know Marvin a little better than you, mister Templar. I checked his gun 339 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,119 before he went out to give himself up to the police, just in case. 340 00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:22,200 Yeah, get back your wretch.

Is there's only the start of a long and successful career 346 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:48,119 as a private eye. Marvin.

Marvin's waiting outside, 350 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,039 mister Temple. I guess it just wasn't meant to be you and me, 351 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,119 that is, I agree, But I want you to know that I'll 352 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,359 always remember you, mister Temple, from the first moment in that restaurant and 353 00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:38,839 you hugged me with your eyes. That was a moment God. And when 354 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,480 the first child comes, we'll name it Simon after you. Yes, Simon 355 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:48,599 forever. Endeavor, I'll be very honest. Just think by tomorrow I'll be 356 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,920 missus. Marvin Hickerson, I wish you'd promise me one thing, Alice, 357 00:28:52,200 --> 00:29:10,359 what Simon? Don't ever take that hick out of Hickerson.

Remember 372 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:41,599 Margaret Truman and Doug Fairbanks joined The Big Show Today on NBC Welcome Back. 373 00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:47,400 Well. This one, I think was definitely one of the most comedic episodes 374 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,039 of the Saints We've heard, and I absolutely enjoyed it. It's certainly not 375 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:59,400 the top of thing that I think every detective show was going to be, 376 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:07,720 but I do think that it is just a nice change of pace, and 377 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:14,079 it's one of the great variety that we're afforded here that we can play series 378 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,559 that are very different and all fit within the detective genre, so you get 379 00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:23,599 different feels and flavors. This was just such a wonderfully light script and Vincent 380 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,599 Price just did a great job with it in an episode again where nobody died, 381 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,720 so very like I said, very different but also very fun. All 382 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:40,160 right, Listener comments and feedback. Just a couple on the Saint. Sue 383 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:47,440 says love the Saint and Rebecca says Vincent Price is so cool indeed is all 384 00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:49,960 right? Well, that will do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow 385 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,880 with Man from Homicide. In the meantime.
