Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this British crime drama, a Yankee crook uses a garage owner's son as his alibi after he robs a bank and shoots a cop. A Scotland Yard investigator is behind him. He is just about to catch the crook, when the crook shoots him. The police then close in on the killer, but then his girl friend threatens to kill a policeman and the murderer escapes. In the end, just desserts are served when his girl runs him over with her car.
