Margaret Rawlings is a blind and deaf woman who runs a private club with the help of frontwoman Eleanor Summerfield and PA Patricia Dainton. She also has a sideline of fencing high-class goods stolen by Paul Carpenter and his crews. When her son, Skip Homeier, returns from America and learns about this, he tells it it has to end. However, Carpenter has a diamond robbery worth a quarter of a million pounds; when it goes wrong and he kills the night watchman, everything goes south.
The robbery itself is very well done, another heist conducted in silence saves for a drumbeat score. There's also the pleasure of seeing Sean Connery in his second big-screen role as a stammering assistant yeggman. It's another tight little programmer directed by Montgomery Tully.
