The Saint #5
The issue contains two stories. In the first, the Saint investigates a horse racing murder where a jockey named Marbles is poisoned with nitrobenzene before a race; the killer attempts to frame another competitor but is exposed when the Saint discovers the poison was absorbed through the horse's skin from a flask. In the second story, "A Musical Mystery," a radio show guest singer becomes entangled in a dangerous situation at a recording studio when she is kidnapped and held captive in a freezing location, with the Saint working to locate and rescue her.
