THE SAINT "Prove I Did It"

This episode aired November 6, 1949 aka The Case of the Unhappy Homicide. Simon Templer is confronted by a man who claims to have killed his business partner and wants Simon to prove he's guilty. Vincent Price stars. The show's third version, which began July 9, 1947, was limited to CBS' West Coast network. It ended June 30, 1948. The sponsor was Lever Brothers. Vincent Price starred in this version and in most of the show's episodes in the two versions that followed. After a year's hiatus, The Saint returned to radio July 10, 1949—this time on Mutual. An announcement in Billboard noted that the program would be sustaining (without a sponsor), but that Mutual "will use trial summer run to showcase show for fall bankrolling." The bankrolling eventually came from Ford Motor Company, and the show lasted through May 28, 1950.
