Ronald Squire is released from prison after a term for forgery. He is approached by some folks who include Margaret Rutherford (in her screen first credited role), who point out the profits, but he's already experienced the losses, so he turns them down. Instead they approach his nephew, Arthur Macrae, who has abandoned the legal profession of his ancestors for the unprofitable trade of painter. When forged notes start turning up, Squire is summoned by the police. He's innocent, but realizes who is responsible, so he takes Macrae's sister, Jane Baxter, on a trip to Switzerland to follow Macrae and urge him to the straight and narrow. There, they run into Scotland Yard investigator Anthony Bushell.

There are some lovely sequences shot in Switzerland and the Tyrol; producer Julius Hagen was trying to get out of the Quota Quickie trade into more profitable A pictures. This would prove to be a financial mistake as the market for A pictures in Britain were limited and his distributors cut off the American markets. In the meantime, director Bernard Vorhaus shot some nice pictures in the snow, including an exciting chase sequence, and the script provides a very clever ending. With Katie Johnson, Felix Aylmar, and Wally Patch.
