TV review - "The Saint: The Loving Brothers" (19 Nov 1964)

 Episode of The Saint set in Australia - IMDB page here. See the ep here.

Premise

In the Australian outback, the Saint meets a prospector, who's 2 self-absorbed sons, have no love for each other, and have consistently leeched off their father, making him ill. Simon resolves to teach the greedy pair a lesson with a plan involving a silver mine, which may or may not exist.

Pop Kinsall dies. The Saint plays off both against each other. The mine is worthless.
