Plot

[edit]

On his release from prison, George Mallon moves into a hostel for ex-convicts run by Mr. Daniels. When a series of murders of blond women takes place on the local common, the police suspect Mallon, despite having no hard evidence. Blonde policewoman June Lock is assigned to befriend Mallon as bait for him to attack her.

Reception

[edit]

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A routine production, a story which relies a little too much on coincidence, and a host of insignificant characters who are used only for padding. Nevertheless this is a neat enough affair, on the whole creditably acted, and with a good pay-off which (less usual these days) tends to make the police look like fools. Most of the work falls on David Sumner, but the outstanding performance is John Arnatt's as the Superintendent."[2]
