rom TB, who was reputedly mixed up in a million dollar security heist a long time ago. In return for a bit of help with his estranged wife, he is prepared to pay "Nelson" handsomely. That wife "Celia" (Signe Hasso) has grand designs on this cash, and with a gang of unsavoury types led by "Garth" (Henry Morgan) decides to get the loot at all costs. Suddenly, "Nelson" finds his life in danger and he has to think nimbly on his feet if he is to stay alive, at liberty - and hopefully find the cash too.

Standard afternoon fayre, this, but watchable.
