the saint in palm springs (1941)

"You are fascinating and sinister."
Fernack (Jonatan Hale) asks the help of the Saint (George Sanders), to act as body guard to a friend who is traveling to Palm Springs with some valuable stamps. When the friend is murdered, the Saint takes this as a slight, and delivers the stamps to the next of kin, Elna Johnson (Wendy Barrie). But in doing so he drops her into trouble, and has to protect her with old hood Pearly Gates (Paul Guilfoyle), now turned house detective.
Entertaining comedy thriller, that clips along at a fair pace.
