The ex-partner of a master criminal is protected by the police after his life is threatened. The criminal--a master of disguise--tracks down and kills him anyhow, in spite of the police protection.

A suspense thriller with virtually the entire cast under suspicion of murder. In this, the third of at least 4 film versions of the Edgar Wallace story, John Longden plays the police inspector for the second time. The inspector and a police surgeon team up to find the killer who has just announced his (or her) intention to kill a lawyer.—Steve Crook <[email protected]>
