I was quite pleasantly surprised by this little pot-boiler. It's all based around poor old "Frank" (Norman Rodway) who suspects his pal "Jim" (Peter Reynolds) of forging company bonds. He threatens to expose him unless he gets in on the act. "Jim" initially agrees, then takes the law into his own hands and next thing the police have satisfied themselves that the forgeries were all the work of the now absconded "Frank". At this point, enter the wife "Rose" (Noelle Middleton) - an old flame of "Jim" - and soon she is firmly back in his romantic sights as she begins to smell a rat. Can she piece it all together and get the police to believe her - whilst, make no mistake, her own life is in increasing peril. There can't have been much of a budget, and to be honest the acting isn't really up to much - or especially convincing, but the story and the writing are delivered swiftly allowing the pace to build up nicely to a denouement that showcases some lovely irish scenery as well as delivers some just desserts. It's just over the hour and passes the time effortlessly enough.
