It's quite a neat B Movie, the plot is quite clever, a girl is held captive by a group of four criminals, who've carried out a large heist, but have no idea what to do with her. The twist being that her father, the Night watchman was coshed by one of the quartet of robbers.
I quite liked this, it's an intriguing watch, it's pretty clever and delivers a few neat twists, the best of them being where Carol hears a message on the radio relating to her father. The ending is wonderfully dramatic, and features a few cleverly shot scenes, the film work makes the action appear more dramatic then first appeared. It's a good early film for Kenneth Cope, Johnny is one of the more interesting characters, Cope was suave and charismatic.
The problem I have with this film is with the character of Carol, Leigh Madison is fine, it's not that it's her behaviour towards Eddy, it makes no sense, surely she'd have despised him, it oddly seemed she fell in love with him.
How many of these forgotten goodies are out there. Enjoyed it even if it is a little short, 7/10
