Comment
After his release from prison a criminal (Terrance Morgan) tries to pick up his old ways and start blackmailing people using a modelling agency as a front. The police send in a woman (Hazel Court) undercover to try and prove what is going on. This is a solid British crime drama from the early 1960's with a curious performance from Donald Pleasence as the photograher dragged into the scheme unwittingly.
