OTR Holiday Month Day 23: The Saint

Vincent Price was perfect on the radio. For a few years he starred in The Adventures of the Saint on radio, based on the character created by Leslie Charteris. The episode I've chosen is identified in the file name as "The Nineteen Santa Clauses" from December 24, 1947, but it sure sounds like the December 24, 1950 episode "Santa Claus Is No Saint" to me. Maybe they have the same script?

Anyway, the Saint dresses up as Santa Claus just in time for a serious case of mistaken identity as a wronged woman and a criminal both mistake the Saint for someone else. You can listen to it on archive.org here.
