aka Terror Street.Bill (Dan Duryea) is an American pilot in London on a three day layover. He decides to visit his estranged wife, who has stopped writing to him, but finds her flat is empty. He tracks her down to an upmarket West End apartment, and is disturbed to find she's living the high life dripping in diamonds and furs. When he confronts her he's knocked unconscious and awakes beside her dead body. She'd been shot with his gun and he's the obvious suspect so goes on the run determined to find the culprit.
Another of the Hammer / Lippert second features which crowbars an American actor into a middling British crime drama. It relys on the old plot device of a woman believing and helping an unknown suspected murderer to hunt down a killer, but the film never really develops the characters enough for you to really believe or care about their fates.
