Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCorrupt union boss Nat Grendel was aptly named. Grendel was the murderous monster in the epic poem Beowulf.
- GoofsThough this was taking place in New York, the television set in Grandel's apartment was a Decca and the one in Simon Templar's was a Bush "Deluxe Twenty Three". Both are British sets and would not work in the US.
- Quotes
Nat Grendel: Verna, you're thinking again. That's not why I keep you around for!

It's not The Saint I remember
Simon Templar's reporter friend is killed after initiating a series of damning reports on union boss Nat Grendal. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who pulled the proverbial trigger. Templar steps in to see that his friend's efforts don't go to waste.
It's been more than a minute since I last watched an episode of The Saint, but The Careful Terrorist just doesn't feel right. It seems weird for Templar to be living in the US. I miss the more exotic European locals found in the previous episode. Not only that, but he's somehow developed what seems like a long running feud with a local policeman. How'd that happen? And where did manservant Hoppy come from? Unnecessary and annoying. Finally, Templar mixing it up with a run-of-the-mill mob hoodlum hardly seems right. Somehow, it feels beneath him.
Beyond all that, the plot itself is a bit tedious and boring and goes on far too long. There's really not much happening. I did, however, enjoy the finale. If Grendal had just listened to Templar's warnings . . .
4/10
