Richard Denning stars as Major Gregory Keen, a military detective who is called in to investigate a biarre killing.
A master criminal called Dumetrius (Ronald Adam) flies from post war Berlin to London to continue his crime spree that consists of false travel documents and counterfeit money.
In order to do this he has a military man murdered and frames another for the crime. Keen finds the trail of following Dumetrius to be a very wild and twisted one. Keen trails the killer to a young woman named Hedy Bergner (Carole Mathews) with whom he has been staying.
Keen falls for the lovely entertainer as he closes in on Dumetrius. This is a fun little mystery film and I had never heard of it until I saw it on TUBI.
It moves along at a good pace and has a lot of good characters and plenty of twists and turns. I have only seen Mathews in this and the Roger Corman film "Swamp Women", and she does a good job here as well. She looks great too.
The film ends on a dour note for Keen, but that is what film noir is all about. The rest of the cast for this British production includes Danny Green, Jan Holden, Brian Worth and Bill Nagy.
