The Saint's Vacation (1941)

Hugh Sinclair stars in the title role. His friend, Arthur Mccrae and his valet are packing for vacation, fending off reporters. The one they do not manage to elude, however, is beautiful Sally Gray. She tracks them down at their hotel. While there, the Saint spots Leucen MacGrath, who is supposed to be working for Cecil Parker, an international criminal. (Parker was the star of the radio detective show, A Case for Dr. Morrelle.) As they take a walk, they see a man getting beat up and the Saint intervenes. The assaulters were after a box the man had. While the Saint and the others are trying to figure how to get into it, someone climbs into the bedroom window and stabs the man. Just then Parker shows up to get the box. The Saint climbs onto the back of their car and sneaks into their castle stronghold to get it back.

The box turns out to contain a music box. After puzzling over it all night, the Saint thinks he has the key to it. MacGrath stops by. She claims to own the box. He does not give it to her, but mails it to himself. She shows up again on the train. Her husband has a shootout with Parker and his men and is wounded. At the station, Parker has the police arrest the Saint and Gray. Parker kidnaps Mccrae. The Saint and Gray fake a fire in the jail and escape. It turns out that the Saint has been working undercover for the government, and MacGrath was a fellow agent.

Gray's real name was Constance Vera Browne. She was married to Dominick Geoffrey Edward Browne, 4th Baron Oranmore and Browne, for 51 years. He died at the age of 100 and sat in the House of Lords for 72 years.
