Now, Oliver, under the watchful eye of his tutor, the cruel Fagin (Alec Guinness) becomes a pickpocket on London's streets where more problems follow–until good luck finally shines on Oliver.

The Saint Meets the Tiger   1943     1 and a half stars    N/R, 70 min.
Genre: Mystery
Director: Paul L. Stein  
Cast: Hugh Sinclair, Jean Gillie, Gordon McLeod, Clifford Evans, Wylie Watson, Charles Victor, Louise Hampton, John Salew, Amy Veness, Dennis Arundell

  It's been two years since the last episode of the Saint's adventures, and this entry is the weakest of the lot (in the view of this reviewer). The dying words of a murdered man on the Saint's doorstep sends our suave detective off to chase down a gold mine scheme of "The Tiger" and his gang. More murders occur before the Saint wraps this one up.
