Synopsis:

Simon Templar (George Sanders) is hired to protect Peter Johnson (Edmund Elton), the owner of a valuable stamp collection, after two attempts are made on his life. But as Johnson prepares to visit Palm Springs and hand over the stamps to his daughter Elna (Wendy Barrie), he is shot in the back whilst putting the stamps in his safe. Keen to catch the murderer, The Saint decides to take Johnson's place and deliver the stamps to Palm Springs himself. Seduced by the mysterious but dangerous Margaret Forbes (Linda Hayes), The Saint decides to enlist the help of one-time criminal now turned detective Clarence 'Pearly' Gates (Paul Gilfoyle). But the murderer has followed The Saint to Palm Springs and death is only one step behind Simon Templar...

George Sanders makes his final appearance as crook-turned-detective Simon Templar, a.k.a. "The Saint," in The Saint in Palm Springs. The gimmick in this one is a set of rare stamps, smuggled from England. Wendy Barrie is the true heir to this treasure, and the Saint is engaged to protect her and the stamps. Our hero meets Barrie in a posh Palm Springs resort, where a gang of homicidal thieves have converged to relieve the girl of her inheritance. Three murders and one kidnapping attempt later, the villains are foiled by the Saint, with the aid of his onetime partner in crime Pearly Gates (Paul Guilfoyle). The Saint in Palm Springs is the sixth in RKO's series of films based on the character created by Leslie Charteris.

The Saint outwits the police who are out to arrest him and safeguards three valuable stamps belonging to a tennis player which are sought by a gang.
