The Unlicensed Victualers: The Saint hijacking booze from smugglers. Some interesting back and forth and a few solid twists for a decent story.

“The High Fence”-The Saint takes on a receiver of stolen property with an angle. There’s a great escape scene and a great surprise ending. Best story so far;

The Sleepless Knight--The Saint takes vengeance on a ruthless trucking company owner who is requiring his drivers to work ridiculous hours and causing unsafe conditions. The story definitely has poetic justice but there are a few interesting leaps in logic.

“The Unfortunate Financier” a story of how the Saint deals with a clever and unscrupulous stock speculator in a non-violent and hilarious way.

The Simon Templar Foundation-Simon blackmails grafting politicians and war profiteers. Introduces his dim-witted sidekick hoppy. Overall an amusing story. Grade: B+
