This film is worth one viewing to experience and move on, one of the lesser entries in the Anglo Amalgamated series of supposed Edgar Wallace adaptions that only gives the slightest bit of character development and even that isn't enough to give a new take on a plot that's been done a thousand times and much better. Once again, it's the old story of the businessman (Basil Henson) having an affair with his partner's wife (Zena Walker) and convinced by her to commit murder.
Of course, things go horribly wrong after it seems that everything's going right, and as we know, crime never pays and the innocent have to pay before the criminals do. A predictable low budget thriller, not remarkably written, directed or acted, but having some nice location footage, one such scene leading to a fiery car flying over a cliff. Walker's a great femme fatale, but she's not exactly the kind worth risking everything being tossed out just because of passion. Harmless at just over an hour, but you won't loose sleep if you completely skip over it.
