[3][4][5] Clem Morgan, demobilised from the Royal Air Force and unemployed after the war, helps in the stealing and transporting of black market goods in coffins to crime boss Narcy's (short for Narcissus) headquarters in a funeral parlour.

When Narcy orders Soapy to run down a policeman, Clem grabs the wheel in an unsuccessful attempt to save the man's life and the car crashes into a lamppost.

He seeks shelter in a remote farmhouse, where Mrs. Fenshaw lets him bathe, shave and change his clothes, and also cooks him some food.

The ending is rather ambiguous, as Clem presumably has to return to prison, and he is also facing a possible murder charge; all that Rockliffe can do is promise to look at any new evidence that comes up.

The degradation and violent beating-up of women as witnessed in the film may possibly serve some useful purpose if it should act as a deterrent to foolish girls who may be potential victims of this country's ever-increasing band of criminals, but can scarcely be regarded as enjoyable entertainment.

Trevor Howard, as Morgan, is adequate in the part, but though starred is completely outshone by Griffith Jones, who steps right out of the ranks of second-grade heroes to give quite an impressive performance as the villainous Narcy.
