Master criminal Terence Reilly has escaped from prison. He steals diamonds and is responsible for a series of murders. Inspector Morley of Scotland Yard is called in to recapture him.
The film was made at Bushey Studios. It was Slaughter's last feature film.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A very indifferently made crime melodrama. The succession of sketchy and barely related characters and incidents fails to arouse sympathy or excitement; and the technique – particularly the recording – is surprisingly poor. The only consolation lies in the few appearances of Tod Slaughter in one of his traditional villain roles."[3]
