"Sex is a wonderful thing for business."Harry Foulcher (Alfred Marks) runs a nightclub, with a sideline in protection. He has Inspector Sayers (John Gregson) on his back and asks Waldo Zhernikov (Herbert Lom) for help. Waldo quickly comes up with a plan to organise the various gangs, and streamline the operation. To keep them in line he pressures small timer Paddy Damion (Sean Connery) to do it. Paddy is reluctant, but has little choice with a crippled friend to care for, and a needy girlfriend.
Well played drama, that never gets too involved in the nitty-gritty underworld of protection racquets.
