Where to Watch

Expelled from Oxford, a junk dealer's son (Dermot Walsh) turns to thievery. Rosselli: Charles Victor. Maxie: John Blythe. Amanda: Barbara Murray. Stone: Martin Benson. Vera: Thora Hird. Marcella: Annette Simmonds. Directed John Gilling.

Junk dealer Victor's dreams for his son are diminished when the young man is thrown out of Oxford because of poor grades. After the boy hooks up with a gang of jewel thieves for whom his father is secretly the fence, Victor tries to keep him from participating in a dangerous foray. The son does so anyway and is killed. This decent crime drama was written and directed by John Gilling, known for his efficient low-budget adventures and thrillers.
