Two young men (Derren Nesbitt, Keith Faulkner) rob a bookie, then try to dispose of their dying victim while driving around in his car. Jean: Carol White. Joe: Harry Locke. Taut and suspenseful tale. Vernon Sewell directed.

This fairly good film adaptation of an Edgar Wallace novel centers on two young crooks' attempts to rob a bookmaker as he leaves the racetrack with the day's winnings. The overanxious youths discover, however, that their victim has chained the bag of money to his wrist so it can't be removed. This forces them to take the man with them as they try to find a way to retrieve the money.
