Storyline
Pinkie Brown is a small-town hoodlum whose gang runs a protection racket based at Brighton race course. When Pinkie orders the murder of a rival, Fred, the police believe it to be suicide. This doesn't convince Ida Arnold, who was with Fred just before he died, and she sets out to find the truth. She comes across naive waitress Rose, who can prove that Fred was murdered. In an attempt to keep Rose quiet Pinkie marries her. But with his gang beginning to doubt his ability, and his rivals taking over his business, Pinkie starts to become more desperate and violent.

one hour's journey from London.
But in the years between the two wars, behind the Regency terraces and
crowded beaches, there was another Brighton of dark alleyways and festering
slums. From here the poison of crime and violence and gang warfare began to
spread until the challenge was taken up by the Police.
This is a story of that other Brighton - now happily no more. See more »

Trivia
Brighton Borough Council refused permission for use of the race course because of the damage association with gang crime would do to the town's image (see the on-screen disclaimer at the start of the film). See more »Goofs
Continuity: When "Fred" is being chased through the town center of Brighton, and in order to evade his pursuers, he jumps on, then off, a double decker bus. The route number of the bus he jumps off is clearly different from the one he jumps on, as is the large advertisement along the side of the bus. See more »Quotes
