The daughter of Walter Connolly (Michael) goes missing at the same time that his waiter Victor McLaglen (Dannie) produces a child of similar age out of nowhere. He hands the baby girl to a couple to look after claiming he is off to sea and asking that they look after her until he returns. Well, you can put two and two together and realize where the kidnapped girl is. Unfortunately, McLaglen gets himself into some trouble with the law and gets 20 years in jail. In the meantime June Lang (Nancy) grows up as "Sheila". Will McLaglen own up when he gets out?
The story keeps you watching and situations and circumstances are constantly evolving. The cast are all good and McLaglen has you rooting for him even though he is a kidnapper. He shows a human side and there are also comedy elements when Shirley Deane turns up as a fake Nancy. Watch out for Peter Lorre (Prof Sturm) and John Carradine (Harry) who pop us prison inmates and put in memorable performances. You may forget about Peter Lorre but that would be a mistake. He is very cunning and all of a sudden.....he's back........
The film turned out better than I thought it would be and that is thanks to the cast, especially McLaglen in the lead role. He can act, he's not just a lunkheaded thug.
