One of the better efforts in the Edgar Wallace series

Enjoyable entry in the Edgar Wallace series, even if the ending feels too sudden, but this episode is at least good enough to leave the viewer wishing there was more of it. Plenty of twists to the story to keep the viewer interested, and plenty of outdoor filming so it's a good deal less claustrophobic than some of the other efforts in this series. It's still hard to believe that John Thaw was only 21 when he made this.
