    Where to Watch

Thriller about a crafty old Scotsman (Will Fyffe) who matches wits with a gang of criminals. Sally: Phyllis Calvert. Tolly: Anthony Hulme. Jones: John Glyn Jones. Metcalfe: George Merritt. Mrs. Lightbody: Kathleen Harrison. Netherly: Athole Stewart. Harry Lachman directed.

Fyffe is a jeweler who becomes entangled with a group of thieves in an effort to aid Scotland Yard. Hoping to get revenge against the hoods responsible for his brother's death, he joins the gang and leads the police to the crooks. Fyffe and Calvert give interesting performances, but the lame script and flawed production values are just impossible to overcome.
