Robert Preston is a code breaker for British intelligence. One night his wife is run down on a country road by a criminal couple. He becomes obsessed with finding them and getting revenge. This leads to a battle of wills with Scotland Yard inspector Colin Tapley. Preston denies involvement despite the fact that they both know he is the murderer. The inspector tries to protect the girl Preston wants to kill, but he uses his military training to outwit him. An intelligent script that never talks down to the audience, sympathetic characters and fine acting make this Hammer Film production a winner.
