Simon Templar, conosciuto come il Santo, aiuta coloro che le forze di polizia convenzionali non riescono a proteggere, spesso usando metodi che aggirano la legge, in avventure che prevedono truffe ai danni di malviventi, quasi sempre in difesa di belle donne da violenti criminali o ricchi senza scrupoli. Il Santo lasciava sempre un bigliettino da visita con il suo simbolo (un omino stilizzato con un'aureola in testa) al termine delle sue operazioni. L'ispettore Teal di Scotland Yard cerca continuamente di arrestarlo ma non vi riesce mai, vuoi perché riesce a sfuggirgli, vuoi perché nel suo agire Templar non lascia indizi che lo possano ricondurre a lui.

The lives of Bodie and Doyle, top agents for Britain's CI5 (Criminal Intelligence 5), and their controller, George Cowley. The mandate of CI5 was to fight terrorism and similar high-profile crimes. Cowley, a hard ex-MI5 operative, hand-picked each of his men. Bodie is a cynical ex-SAS paratrooper and mercenary whose nature ran to controlled violence, while his partner, Doyle, comes to CI5 from the regular police force, and is more of an open minded liberal. Their relationship is often contentious, but they are the top men in their field, and the ones to whom Cowley always assigned to the toughest cases.
