***SPOILERS**** Mildly interesting if not confusing British crime caper movie involving a gang of hijacker who've been terrorizing truckers and stealing or hijacking their cargo's on the highways and back roads. Setting up fake accidents on the roads to the big cities the hijackers lead by the bald headed man Jack Carter, Derek Francis,try to take out their next victim independent trucker Terry McKinley, Anthony Booth, who's hauling a truckload of Johnny Walker Red whiskey bottles worth as much as $50,000.00 dollars or pound sterling. Carter and his boys didn't notice that Terry had a passenger that he picked up at a local truck stop Shirley, Jackie Ellis,who unlike Terry who was blindfolded with a sack tied over his head escaped and could identify them.
Terry also later finds out that his good friend and business partner Jim Brady, Ronald Hines, is working for the Cater hijack gang and in fact set him up. This all leads to Shirley getting kidnapped and held hostage by Carter's boys until they pull one one job, a truck loaded with ladies cosmetics, and then check out of the country. We also get the impression that Shirley's behind bars husband Tim, Douglas Livingstone, is somehow also involved with the hijacking team and is blackmailed by Shirley to spill the beans on them to the police. That or else she's testify against him in court on a number of other crimes that he committed that can extend his jail sentence from three months to thirty years!
***SPOILERS****It's Terry and some two dozen police lead by Inspector Grayson, Patrick Cargill, who finally come to Shirley's rescues in the gangs hideout in the country with the head man Carter knowing that he's beat not offering any resistance at all. Unlike his cohorts who fought like hell and got the hell beat out of them by Inspetor Grayson's men as well as Terry Carter saw the writing on the wall and meekly gave himself up, smoking a cheap .5 cigar, with out a fight! The what seemed like out of of the blue scene in the prison with Shirley and her jailbird husband Tim was a bit difficult to follow since it seems to have nothing to do with the story about hijacking. And Tim's non stop babbling about things that seemed to make no sense confused more then clarified his association with the Carter gang if in fact he had anything to do with it at all!
