    Where to Watch

A private eye (Terence Morgan) investigates the murders of scientists. Doreen: Joan Rice. Sylvia: Dianne Foster. Forsythe: Raymond Lovell. Crabtree: Colin Tapley. Newman: Esmond Knight. Beroni: Hector Ross. Slick detective work. Robert S. Baker directed.

Silly spy drama has Morgan looking for the inventor of a special formula for hardening steel who is being held captive by enemy agents. The complicated plot doesn't quite work, but audiences should enjoy it anyway. Not to be confused with TURN THE KEY SOFTLY, in which leading man Morgan also appeared in 1953.
