Bob Jensen becomes engaged to Kathy, a baronet's daughter, but finds himself framed for murder and consequently imprisoned. He manages to break out of jail, and begins a search for the real killers.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Variably acted and tamely presented, this conventional frame-up tale relies chiefly on the story line to hold the attention. In its un-exacting fashion it does so until a ludicrous escape scene destroys all interest in the outcome."[3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as “poor” and wrote: "Careless presentation and a tired format that’s played out.''[4]
Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film called the film "mildly twisty", adding that Carol Marsh was "a more distinctively distraught heroine than most".
TV Guide wrote: "this poorly-made work follows every convention of its hackneyed wronged-man plot and ultimately offers nothing at all."[5]
