"That's what he likes to do, hurt people"
6 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A young couple, Geoff and Sally, arrive at a country cottage to get away from it all and find a dead man in the bathroom. Then gangsters who have pulled off a jewel robbery appear and use the cottage as a hideout until their plane arrives. Another group of gangsters are also in the area looking for the diamonds. Mayhem ensues until eventually most of the cast are killed or injured. A lot going on but not much excitement really.

Laurence Payne is not really convincing as Duke the head of the jewel gang. Bill Nagy, Robert Cawdron and Zena Marshall solidly play his cronies and as the couple caught up in the criminals' scheme Jill Adams and Gary Cockrell are adequate. The script needed more plausibility and definitely more tension.
