This is certainly so much better than I expected it to be. I half expected something to rival those quota quickie Edgar Wallace crime dramas of the next decade, but while not a classic, I found it a perfect way to pass an hour, nicely paced and decently acted. Jane Hylton is under suspicion for the murder of her husband Duncan Lamont to be with supposed lover Donald Gray when a body is found in the burnt factory of Lamont's struggling company. But Lamont can't be found either so there's speculation over who the body really is.
An intriguing premise with well drawn out characters, perhaps not the most challenging parts for the unknown cast, but providing some good moments, especially for Irene Handl, the dotty relative staying with Hylton and Lamont. The audience comes to believe that she's much smarter than she lets on. At only an hour, this is easy viewing and as a mystery succeeded in keeping me guessing.
