Despite the fact that this was probably made in a week on a shoestring budget, Monty Tully churns out quite a decent effort with Dane Clark as "Nevill", a failing industrialist who bullies his friend into killing him so his wife "Andrea" (Thea Gregory) can inherit his insurance. The snag is, his business deal doesn't go quite so sour after all, and he has to call off his would be assassin "Paul" (Paul Carpenter) who is proving quite persistent with his task... Or is he? The story is quite complex and as we head to the slightly unpredictable ending with Clark, his secretary "Joan" (Cecile Chevreau) and wife "Andrea" all have enough skin in the game to keep it interesting...
