I guess they were going out of the industry to find actors to star in the required amount of B quota quickies made by the British motion picture studios, and in this case, one that would be definitely considered their version of a poverty row film company. Jack Watling and Susan Stephen star as a struggling husband and wife having financial issues mainly over his gambling problem which leads him to become involved with a group of smugglers who use his position at work to aide them to get them access to cargo of valuable bullion, and not the kind that makes soup. They call him up when he's at home with rather cryptic instructions and of course this makes his wife suspicious.
The villains are one-dimensionally bad, reminding me of the types you'd see in low budget World War II movies, and the dialogue is really cliched. They try to make this into an intense crime thriller with little bits of comedy thrown in, but they seem inappropriate considering the storyline. The bouncy theme score doesn't help either. Fortunately this won't take up your day or tax your brain, although in my case, I struggled to stay interested.
