In this movie cobbled together from episodes of Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, the former police 'tec goes after a master criminal who dabbles in blackmail, jewel theft, and other crimes that chance opportunity turns up.
Top-billed is the Last of the Barnstorming Melodrama Stars, our old friend Tod Slaughter, he of the sinister chuckle and terrifying quip -- and the bath tub full of acid for Patrick Barr's girl Friday. Can he save her from a fate worse than being a bride of Death? Can he escape yet again from the clutches of the law?
It's a very cheap production, with a score of obvious stock music, but my pleasure at seeing Mr. Slaughter (whose real name was 'Slaughter', although he was christened 'Norman Carter') giving one of his fruity performances remains.
