A dramatization of the life of the English bandit Dick Turpin.

While escaping from the police, English highwayman Dick Turpin meets Joyce Greene. They marry and Turpin settles down to respectability until his mother-in-law discovers he is the famous outlaw. He resumes his old calling along with Tom King and uncovers evidence that proves his arch-enemy, Lord Willoughby, is plotting against King George. He is betrayed by Cecile, a jealous accomplice, and to protect his wife, Turpin rides the 200 miles from London to York.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
