Stewart was forced into the robbery of bonds by Green, a bookie to whom his wife is in debt. He breaks out of prison helped by Mackay on Green's instructions in order to lead them to the hidden bonds. Stewart, with the police on his trail, finds out his wife is plotting with Green, who forces him to talk to protect Helen, a sympathetic friend. Stewart finds the bonds first and then gives himself up to the police.

Passable crime thriller, but it's just really average on the whole. It has some gritty fistfights and a lively fight in an underground canal. The cinematography is crisp - the double decker buses, clean streets and alleyways belong in a bygone era.

Gets off to a good start, but soon bogs down like so many of this series does and becomes too much like a dialogue-laden studio-based melodrama. Brian Wilde and Garfield Morgan appear in roles in which they would later become familiar to the viewing public in well-known television series in the 1970's.
