In a state of exhaustion from sauntering through the previous five episodes of RKO's The Saint as George Sanders, it's Hugh Sinclair's chance to play Simon Templar. He goes on vacation to the Continent in the company of dim-witted Arthur Macrae, and Sally Gray as a newspaperwoman. She figures where the goes, there's a story. At first there doesn't seem to be much, but they wind up with a music box, which evil mastermind Cecil Parker wants, and isn't in the least fussy how.
Sinclair is a bit more active than Sanders was, jumping o the hoods of speeding autos, and firing the odd gun. Mostly, though, he seems content to play his little I-know-more-than-you-know game until the purpose of the maguffin is randomly revealed by Felix Aylmer.
Sinclair is amusing, but not a patch on Sanders' supercilious fellow. This was the second episode of the series shot in England, and the reasons usually given are blocked funds.
