A would be noir featuring safe cracking and diamond smuggling against the background of a pirate radio station. Gives lots of room to show and play a variety of groups and singers of the day, including the Small Faces, Kiki Dee and the Chantelles. But it's really a run of the mill b feature, (second billed to Doctor In Clover), that is of interest only for the inclusion of the music. If cool mod sounds in black and white appeals then give it a look, but the plot is hardly going to enthrall you. Just remember when watching this that little under six months previously Stevie Marriott was a jobbing actor trying to be a pop star (Be My Guest), now he was the real thing!
