A criminal called The Tiger indulges in murder and mayhem while framing a young man Robert Brierly for forgery as he covets Robert's fiancee May Edwards. When Robert comes out of prison on parole The Tiger in the disguise of a philanthropist tries to use him to rob a safe. It's another entertaining Tod Slaughter film with some lively dialogue and a faux Dickensian atmosphere. The pleasure garden scenes are particularly good.
Tod is The Tiger of course and gives another full blooded performance, laughing evilly and brimming with lechery towards the young singer May, never missing an opportunity to kiss her lips even when she is unconscious. The rest of the cast are adequate. Apart from Tod the best acting comes from Arthur West Payne as the boy called Sam who is hilarious in all of his scenes. He was a very natural child actor who only made five films which is a pity.
It's a Tod Slaughter movie and if you are a fan of him and his style of performance you won't be disappointed.
