Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is one of a handful of episodes in which Roger Moore's voice is dubbed by another voice actor. There are other accents an American ear might find more difficult to understand than Moore's but, since he played the title character, it was dubbed for syndication in the USA. Those familiar with Moore's voice can notice the slight differences in tone and quality, especially when Templar gets intense.
- GoofsThough the location is San Francisco, the indoor scenes have British style telephones, electrical switches and outlets.
- Quotes
Detective Williams: One other thing! Don't meddle, understand? Don't get mixed up in anything and don't look for trouble!
Simon Templar: Lieutenant, I never look for trouble. Trouble looks for me!

Featured review
The Ever-Loving Spouse
It is convention time in San Francisco. For candy manufacturer Otis Q Fennick, life is far from sweet.
He has been set up with a young woman who enters his hotel room and then he is photographed in an uncompromising position.
Now Otis is ripe to be blackmailed. His much younger wife Liane wants to divorce him and now has ammunition to take Otis to the cleaners.
In fact it turns out the whole scheme was cooked up by Liane, she has fallen for a younger man, Otis's top salesman at the company.
The photographer, Vern Balton goes back a long way with Liane. He offers to sell the negatives for more than the agreed price. Liane is not happy.
The Saint decides to help out Otis and soon Balton turns up dead.
A hare brained scheme and story. It was all very implausible. Given Otis's behaviour, I was not convinced that he was a smart businessman.
Forget getting the Saint in. Otis should had got a smart lawyer.
I also wanted to know just how did Otis manage to leave his room so surreptitiously?
