Where's The Money?

Clifford Evans has taken part in a robbery in New York and lammed for England with all of the $50,000. He settles down with his sister, Patricia Roc, and is waiting for the money to be converted to pounds sterling. However, two of the men in the robbery have shot the third and pursued Evans to England, with money and murder on their minds. Police Inspector David Farrar catches wind of what's going on and decides to do some undercover work.

It's a well-written mystery, with a nice, low-key comic bit for William Hartnell as Derek's sergeant. It still betrays its essentially second-feature production by the cheaper sets and lots at Associated British' Wellwyn Studios, and a couple of minor gaffes, like the way American accents are portrayed. Nonetheless, the twists and turns kept me interested through the end.
