Reporter David Farrar catches a story about a murder. The trail leads to his editor's wife's involvement.
It starts off as one of those cheeky reporter yarns, with a budding relationship with staff member Ann Crawford, stealing photographs in competition with rival William Hartnell, and an odd little independent investigator played weirdly by Richard Goolden. Amidst the slovenly background -- suggesting but not not actually showing film noir -- it gradually darkens in tone and look. Although it starts slowly, full of cliches, it gradually becomes more involving. With John Stuart, Antoinette Cellier, Anthony Hawtrey, and a nice small part for Elsie Wagstaff.
