The Work of Art

Oh look Roger Moore in a clown outfit. I wonder if he will don that disguise again?

Jean Bougrenet is a businessman with links to the Algerian rebels. He has been dealing with forged bearer bonds designed by a master forger who has faked his own death.

Jean has fallen foul of his fellow rebels. He has double crossed Major Quintana and then defrauds his business partner André Grillot as he needs cash.

When Jean is killed by the Major's men. It is Andre who is suspected of murder. Simon Templar tries to clear his name.

It is difficult to understand just what all the stuff with Algeria was about. Not helped that nobody looked Algerian.

Once again The Saint uses his charm to shake off a policeman who has to stick to him like glue.

It is an episode where the political chicanery has aged.
