The Saint, said actor Brian Aherne, who played the role briefly, was "a sort of superman." He's never at a loss in any situation, and can get himself out of any scrape, and always quirte legitimately. Following the Leslie Charteris novels and the film portrayals by suave George Sanders, the radio Saint righted wrongs and aided victims of crime when the law was rendered powerless by restrictive procedure. The Saint simply broke the law, if the result justified it. He was a dapper dresser, equally at home at the wheel of a fast car, in an airplane, or on horseback. _{John Dunning}
