A convoluted crime drama of corporate intrigue isnt very good, even with the presence of veteran British character actor Nigel Davenport as an embezzler whose sole hope of getting away with his crime is to get the goods on the prosecutor. Not a bad premise as far as the story goes, but you'd need a master's degree in business administration to understand half of what's going on.
Yvonne Romain is alluring as far as the young leading lady with the exception of her chirpy voice. William Russell, as the professional blackmailed, and Geoffrey Keene as the prosecutor, are basically just there, doing their best to just remember their lines and not bump into the furniture. The location footage is interesting, but pretty typical of the Edgar Wallace series. Obviously the writers were trying really hard to fool the audience with a complex structure they consider genius, but the only result is the audience becoming desperately bored.
