The plot revolves around control of the soft drink company Cool Kups following the murder of the company chairman Harold Strickland. During the police investigation the company is temporary controlled by Frank Merril.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unexciting addition to the Edgar Wallace series, with little or no subtlety or originality. Bernard Lee is adequate as the Inspector, and Graham Leaman makes much of a tiny part as a Yard ballistics expert."[4]
