    Where to Watch

A law student (Francis Matthews) seeks to vindicate his father (Jack Gwillim), serving a life sentence as a traitor. Sue: Jill Williams. Thompson: Basil Dignam. Formula. Max Varnel directed.

Engineer Gwillim is wrongly convicted of selling secrets to enemy agents and sentenced to life in prison. Suspecting that his former partner, Dignam, may have framed him, Gwillim enlists the aid of his law student son, Matthews, to investigate the case. Standard crime drama with a touch of espionage thrown in to spice up the incredibly bland stew.
