STORY:
Cleaning woman Agnes Yarrow is badly hurt when Joe Sholto burns down one of his warehouses to cash in the insurance. But Yarrow can identify Sholto. In the following trial Sholto's defendant is Carlton Rood who uses dirty tricks. Yarrow's testimony is taken apart by Rood - Sholto gets away. Now is the time for the Saint to set things right.

OPINION: Although the Saint doesn't appear almost for 2 thirds of the episode it's well written with sharp dialogues.
