In the present paper, non-singular Morse-Smale flows on closed orientable 3-manifolds under the assumption that among the periodic orbits of the flow there is only one saddle one and it is twisted are considered. An exhaustive description of the topology of such manifolds is obtained. Namely, it has been established that any manifold admitting such flows is either a lens space, or a connected sum of a lens space with a projective space, or Seifert manifolds with base homeomorphic to sphere and three singular fibers. Since the latter are simple manifolds, the result obtained refutes the result that among simple manifolds, the considered flows admit only lens spaces.
