Mannering finds himself transporting a priceless statuette out of a fascist state at the request of an ailing freedom fighter. The rebel leaders hope that the art object will bring them money to buy arms and ammunition to overthrow the tyrannical government. During his flight from the country, Mannering is dogged by the secret police who seem to know his every move even before he makes it.
The Baron is similar to the Saint, very English in its style,but what makes it unique is that the hero - Mannering - is an American. Steve Forrest plays him, though he lacks the charm of the Saint ( Roger Moore), he still has a likebility and he's little more hard boiled. He is assisted by Paul Ferris as his sidekick.
Jane Merrow guest stars as a daughter of a freedom fighter and like always she's a picture of elegance. There's an adventurous feel to this, hopping on trains, climbing mountain trails - it's enjoyable enough, but it sags a little towards the end and gets talky.
