Warning: Spoilers
Benny is a little crook, not dangerous at all, but he doesn't get much money for dating his beautiful girlfriend. One night, he has the opportunity to get more money by blackmailing. But Benny is not a real crook, he isn't tough enough, and he finds a gun for protection for his blackmail operation. And the little crook becomes a coward.

Very interesting story, though already seen, well acted, competent direction with very cheap budget. Ken Hughes will direct more thrillers much more nervous like "Joe MacBeth" (fantastic Paul Douglas as MacBeth transferred in film noir) and "Wicked As They Come" (with sublim Arlene Dahl). Some other titles are to discover in Ken Hughes's filmography.
