The opening episode from series 3. Roger Moore has taken directorial duties. It has an espionage storyline. It also has Robert Brown, the actor who will play M in the later Moore, Bond movies.
The Saint comes into the aid of a nurse in distress. Geraldine McLeod (Nanette Newman) works as a civilian nurse in a naval base in Portland.
On a trip to London, A man she knew from the base is killed in a phone booth at Waterloo station. Geraldine was in the next booth and the man had planted a carton of Miracle Tea in her handbag.
Simon Templar was also in a phone booth and he notices a broken vial where the man died.
Special Branch inform Templar that the dead man was an undercover agent as secrets were being leaked from the base. They want Templar to go to Portland and snoop about.
It is a story with codes, secret messages, miniature cameras in hidden compartments. The Saint gets Geraldine aunt as an accomplice to take pictures of people going in and out of a chemist.
Aunt Hattie has a long lens camera as she likes to take photographs of birds. I wonder if she has the book, Birds of the West Indies!
As director, Moore has gone for several action scenes. The stunt doubles must have been on overtime.
