When the Saint visits Arizona, he battles a Nazi scientist whose interest in ranching is prompted by the mercury deposits underneath the ranch. In Palm Springs, an alcoholic millionaire hires him... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Debonair adventurer Simon Templar aka The Saint, is on a tour of the American West. His first stop is a ranch in Arizona where he rescues a lovely damsel from being swindled (or worse) from a gang of Nazis - yes Nazis the story was originally published more than fifty years ago. His next stop is Palm Springs where he joins a most unusual household as a bodyguard and finally takes a trip to Tinseltown and takes a whirl at the movie business. Like many babyboomers I would sit in front of the tv, eagerly awaiting for the lilting tune that would signal the arrival of The Saint. Each week he would whisk me away to yet another exotic location where he would dispense his own particular brand of justice to another villain. Before my time others had eagerly awaited the latest Saint story to appear in their favorite magazine, or perhaps a new movie adventure at the local theater. This collection of vintage Saint stories will appeal to those of us who have these fond memories, who will recognize some of the outdated "current" references and will not be puzzled by a culture that has long ago passed away. Anyone who is unfamiliar with The Saint and his exploits will probably be unimpressed by this collection - their loss.
TSGW is a typical Saint story.
