The Saint in New York
A crime spree in New York forces the police commissioner to turn to Englishman Simon Templar, who fights lawlessness and corruption through unorthodox methods. Templar sets his sights on individual crimes bosses, and after bringing down two vicious leaders through disguise and deception, discovers that there is a mastermind behind all the city's crime.
Simon Templar, the suave and resourceful "Saint," travels to New York City to thwart a notorious crime syndicate known as "The Cobra." Operating under the guise of a wealthy American businessman, Templar navigates the dangerous underworld, facing down assassins and double-crosses. He must uncover the syndicate's leader and bring their reign of terror to an end before they can fully establish their control over the city.
