Crime reporter Jack Moir is framed by crooked nightclub owner, 'The Duke'. In prison, Moir plans his revenge.
A drab little effort which sees investigative journalist "Jack Moir" (Conrad Philiips) framed and convicted for a mail heist. The remaining drama combines all the usual aspects - a local "Mr.Big" - this time hammily played by George Pastell; an incompetent police investigation and - luckily for him, his former colleagues from his newspaper (Ballard Berkeley & Linda Marlowe) who believe him innocent. Once he is released from prison, he is bent on revenge. The biggest snag for me with this crime caper is that they clearly invested heavily in the jazz-style soundtrack and so wanted to get their money's worth - it's intrusive to the point of being annoying and is frequently used to generate tension instead of any script!
