Synopsis

Simon Templar is a modern day Robin Hood of sorts. He steals from rich criminals and keeps the loot for himself (usually in such a way as to put the rich criminals behind bars).

He's dashing, suave, charming, and he's always one step ahead of the bulldog-like Inspector Claude Eustace Teal.

This series chronicles his swashbuckling exploits.

In the first episode of the series, Simon decides to rescue a British agent, whom he was once romantically involved with, who has been kidnapped and is being held by terrorists in the Alps.
