One of a series of second feature films based on Edgar Wallace novels, released between 1960 and 1965 in British cinemas. The films were later sold to American TV and screened there as The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre (1959).
Released in the UK in May 1962 as supporting film to Waltz of the Toreadors (1962), it was one of a handful of Merton Park's Edgar Wallace series to go out on the Rank circuit rather than the usual ABC release.
