Stewart Granger pays the price to keep his past a secret in this 'ingenious British Qthriller" (Radio Times) costarring Haya Harareet (Ben-Hur). A convicted embezzler-turned-successful-businessman, John Brent (Granger) discovers his real troubles are just beginning. First, he's blackmailed by a prison dentist (Norman Bird) threatening to expose his past. Then his wife (Harareet) leaves him when his refusal to explain the cash withdrawals convinces her he's seeing another woman. And when things couldn't get worse, a mysterious stranger acquires the combination to his company's safe. So when £130,000 is stolen and the police suspect him of the crime, Brent must escape arrest if he's to prove his innocence by catching the man who framed him.
