Saint - Set 1 DVD

Known as THE SAINT because of his initials S.T. and his unfailing tendency to help those in need, Simon Templar's passion for adventure and a pretty face invariably lead him into a spine-tingling trail of danger and intrigue. He is a modern-day Robin Hood, a freelance "instrument of justice", out-witting adversaries and flirting with life and ladies along the way. Set against numerous international and exotic backdrops, Templar adopts different guises for the big cause. His code of conduct, however, is unfailingly constant - suave, chivalrous and utterly heroic.THE SAINT, created by Leslie Charteris, is one of the most popular heroes in fictional history.
