This movie is fast on action as the Saint finds out about stolen gold from a man murdered on his door step. It has low budget RKO written all over it during this wartime release. Because of this, there was no follow up to what could have enriched this film series.
That is the addition of Jean Gillie as a love interest for the Saint. This is her only time as Pat Holme who is a character in the novels. It actually looks at times that there are some real sparks between her Hugh Sinclair who is taking his second turn as the Saint here.
This followup to The Saint Takes a Vacation is actually a pretty much standard detective film other than that. Because of a dispute between the creator of the Saint, Leslie Charteris and RKO, this movie completed filming in June, 1941 and was not released until 1943. It is also RKO's last actual Saint Production as RKO's THe Saint Returns was actually produced by Britains Hammer Productions.
Sadly Jean Gillie would die a few years later on pneumonia at age 33.
