The death of a jewelry store clerk reveals the presence of a gang of very well dressed thugs, wanted in connection with the kidnapping and subsequent death of the aging female clerk, originally the suspect in the theft when she doesn't show up for work. Inspector Sparrow (Glyn Houston) is on the case, and in spite of the fact that he's removed from it continues to investigate, leading him to the gang (including leader Anthony Newlands and Michael Caine, then a struggling actor with numerous credits dating back to the mid 50's), and ultimately a shootout.
You can't miss Caine, standing above the rest, and definitely with a major presence. The rest of the cast may not have the name recognition but are quite good in their amusing roles that expresses some wonderful eccentricities. Speeding by at an hour, this entry in the Edgar Wallace mystery series is notable, not just for Caine, but for a better than average script, fast pacing and a group of characters that are more than worth listening to in conversation as they help Houston solve the case. Location footage well presented too.
