WILLIAM LUCAS NEO NOIR THUGS ROGER MOORE IN 'THE SAINT'

Peter Jeffreys with William Lucas and Roger Moore on The Saint from 1965

British crime-genre actor William Lucas, star of neo noirs THE BREAK, PAYROLL and CALCULATED RISK, as one of two sophisticated thugs flanking a sophisticated scientist/villain planning to heist forgery plates (same McGuffin from another Reynolds vehicle THE MARKED ONE) for what's to become THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY: and these cocky antagonists have only future James Bond icon Roger Moore to stop them...

Meanwhile, the primary guest spot's for beautiful, resilient ingenue Sarah Lawson, seeking to reunite with her kidnapped husband while Moore' Simon Templar, as usual, gets in disguise... herein as an undercover safe cracker watched by Lucas and co-thug Peter Jeffreys... and yet he never feels in that much danger, making this particular episode more action than thriller, and for an otherwise great series, mostly filler.
