synopsis
Dangerous Cargo is yet another hour-long British crime potboiler. Jack Watling stars as a security guard who is strongarmed into assisting a robbery gang. The highlight of the film is an intricate gold heist, making one wish that someone more inspired than John Harlow had directed this sequence. Susan Stephen is the disposable heroine, while Karel Stepanek wins the film's acting honors as the criminal mastermind. Dangerous Cargo enjoyed a robust second life on American TV in the early 1960s.
