Nigel Patrick is effective as a Scotland Yard chief inspector on the trail of a sophisticated gang responsible for a Whitechapel bank robbery. "Johnnoe" is getting close. His meticulous, no-nonsense, style of investigation is leading him close to Frank Finlay's "Sale" whom we know from the outset is a lynchpin in the criminal organisation. The criminals are no slouches, though, and they cleverly arrange to set-up the policeman and have him disgraced and suspended. Now it falls to his wife "Mary" (Katherine Woodville) and the brother of one of the gang's other victims "Ruskin" (Colin Blakely) to get to the bottom of the frame, the crime and the murder before it's too late. It's maybe just a bit too long, but once we get going it's a well made and paced crime drama that puts together a strong cast of familiar faces and makes good use of a decent story to set up an action packed fisticuff denouement.
