Featured review
Down to the Sea
A gang of jewel thieves led by Joe Morgan think they have a foolproof plan.
They are sailors who rob a jewellery store in London. Then escape abroad on the ship they work on.
The jewels are fenced abroad. However an undercover cop is on to them but the robbers stab him to death.
DI Maguire is on the case. They have the murder weapon and that the knife was used in one of the robberies.
As injured policeman was found in the docks. They have a hunch that the members of the gang are sailors. They just need to tie a boat with the robbery dates.
Maguire strikes it lucky when Joe's nervy brother Ted Morgan (Gordon Jackson) makes dash for it once he spots the police at the docks.
I did not think the plan was that clever. The undercover policeman was very much on to the gang. Even Maguire managed to cross reference the relevant information.
Ted Morgan's action is this story verge on stupidity.
