aka The Pleasure Lovers.A gang botches a jewel heist and think they've killed the security guard. They take the guards daughter as hostage and hide her in a disused and crumbling warehouse, as they await the ship that will be their getaway. Eddy (Reed De Rouen) is the gang leader, and ubiquitous American star. Johnny (Kenneth Cope), is the young and headstrong troublemaker, and Carol (Leigh Madison) is the kidnapped girl stuck in the middle. Nerves fray as the various gang members bide their time in different ways, causing the inevitable frictions and trouble.
A good example of a Butchers brit noir, the actors do their bit with the usual minimal script and it's enhanced by a fine score by Edwin Astley.
