There seems to be quite a few of these British potboilers revealed
to be lost golden nuggets, unfortunately this one should have remained
buried. Laurence Payne so fabulous in "The Tell Tale Heart" excels as the
debonair "top man" to a motley group of criminals - he is the reason to
watch. When a couple rent an isolated house so the husband can finish
his novel they come across carnage as firstly finding a body in the bath,
then they are over run by a gang of crooks and with references to "them"
and "they" realise there is another gang hiding outside!!
Payne finds an immediate attraction in the young married woman which doesn't make any sense considering his "moll" is the very seductive Zena Marshall who is willing to do anything he asks!! The cottage is being used as a hideout and also where money and property can be stashed from the robberies committed - they are all waiting for a plane due to fly them to the Continent.... But get ready for an ending full of fireworks as Payne discovers that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".....
