Edgar Wallace's J. G. Reeder makes his screen debut in this sluggish low key British B feature.
The government calls for civil servant Mr Reeder to do something about forged banknotes flooding the country.
Reeder calls in Captain Johnnie Gray who wants to serve his country and does so by going to Dartmoor prison in order to infiltrate the crooks who are doing the forging.
In doing so Gray breaks up with his Claire Kane. In jail he notices that an- bitter elderly robber Emmanuel Legge has been released from prison and is picked up by his son Jeff.
When Gray is also released from jail, he finds out that Claire is getting married to a Major Floyd. He turns out to be Jeff and it has all been planned by Legge to get revenge on Claire's father who was once also a crook.
Gray needs to rescue Claire from Jeff who is also a bigamist after marring her.
There is a lot of plot but also many contrivances and coincidences. This is a listless film and Reeder is a minor character in his own movie.
