The Saint in Palm Springs is a 1941 American mystery crime film directed by Jack Hively and starring George Sanders, Wendy Barrie and Jonathan Hale. It was produced and released by Hollywood studio RKO Pictures. The film continued the screen adventures of the Robin Hood-inspired anti-hero, Simon Templar, alias "The Saint", created by Leslie Charteris. This sequel was based upon a story by Charteris; however, many changes to his concept were made. Charteris later novelised his version of the film story as the novella "Palm Springs", contained within the 1942 collection The Saint Goes West. This was the sixth of eight in RKO's film series about The Saint.

Plot

Simon Templar is asked by his friend, Inspector Farnack, to protect Peter Johnson, a man trying to transport three stamps, valued at $200,000, from New York City to his niece Elna, a tennis pro for a hotel in Palm Springs, California. Templar interrupts an attempted robbery, but is too late to save Johnson's life. He does strike the unseen assailant in the face with his ring, which bears his distinctive Saint sign.
