A man awaiting trial Dino Steffano tries to discredit the prosecuting counsel Robert Lindley by using the services of an amoral fixer Mike Cochrane, but things are not what they seem. Filmed in the Merton Park studios low budget efficient manner and filled with good dialogue this keeps one's interest throughout. The plot perhaps is a little confusing and there are some unlikely twists but it is entertaining.
The cast is a good one with Nigel Davenport as the shady Steffano, Geoffrey Keen as the untouchable Lindley, William Russell as the cold Cochrane and Yvonne Romain and Jennifer Daniel as the two women caught in the meshes of the conspiracy. Bert Mason as usual provides crisp and clean cinematography. One of the better ones in the Edgar Wallace series from Anglo-Amalgamated.
