Scotland Yard (1941 film)

Scotland Yard is a 1941 American crime drama film directed by Norman Foster and starring Nancy Kelly, Edmund Gwenn and John Loder about a fugitive whose visage has been altered with plastic surgery.

When bank robber Dakin Barrolles is on the run from the police, he manages to sneak into the house of respectable Sir John Lasher and his wife Sandra.

He finds the drunken Sir Lasher in the course of verbally abusing his wife, fearing his upcoming military service.

Some time later Cork finally manages to track the robber down, discovering that he enlisted under a false name and became a respected soldier in the British Army.

Barrolles goes back to Sandra, pretending to be her husband returning from the war, with amnesia, explaining the fact that he doesn't remember a thing about their lives together.

Barrolles returns to Sandra and they confess their love for each other, but decide to put their relationship on hold until the real Lasher is safely back home from the war.
