Familiar melodrama with the emphasis more on character than action. Martin: Terence Longdon. Nita: Jennifer Jayne. Doug: Harry Fowler. Victor: Peter Sallis. Directed by Montgomery Tully.
Gangsters hijack a busload of prisoners to free their boss (Bowman). Surrounded in a barn, they pour paraffin over the thatched roof and threaten to set it afire. Low-budget British prison-break story has some fine characterizations at the cost of action.
