Synopsis:

The Saint is back! George Sanders (All About Eve, Man Hunt) tackles another case as ace crime-fighter Simon Templar. Down in San Francisco, The Saint gets mixed up with the investigation into a major crime syndicate - who is the mysterious 'Waldeman' who is terrorising the city? Teaming up his old sparring partner Inspector Fernack and the beautiful Val Travers - who has her own reasons for wanting to catch Waldeman - Templar sets out to catch the gangster. But Waldeman is a dangerous adversary and The Saint will have to use all his cunning if he means to trap him...

Simon Templar involves himself in the mysterious case of a San Francisco crime ring head by an elusive character known only as Waldeman. Police Inspector Travers has committed suicide after being discharged from the police force on suspicion of being part of the gang, and his daughter, Valarie, has organized her own crime ring in order to bring out the mysterious Waldeman and prove her father's innocence. Templar meets Inspector Fernak on the flight to California, and the two longtime enemy-cronies form an alliance to help run down the mysterious criminal, whom the Inspector suspects may be Templar himself.

A disgraced policeman's daughter in San Francisco is busy acquiring a name for herself as a crime boss in her own right. But when Simon Templar helps her get away after a shooting in a night-club and subsequently chooses to bring down his old acquaintance Inspector Fernack from New York, the question as to who is on which side of the law becomes increasingly confused -- especially when the vital evidence, in the shape of eighty thousand stolen dollars, spends most of the film in the Saint's pocket!
