    Beautiful harp theme
    The dancer Myrna Fergusson is obviously shot by gangsters. But as the police arrives her body is disappeared. Myrna was a former part of a group of drug traffickers. After her arrival in London, Myrna's sister Danny from Australia is called by the mysterious photographer David Armstrong who is later shot by a mysterious sniper as well...

    This is one of my favourite Egar Wallace films. The plot is only set in London, there are many great buildings to see, which is not day-to-day for the German Edgar Wallace films. It is also a pleasure that Sir John is featured once again! The music is also very impressive. Composer Peter Thomas composed a thrilling harp-theme, accompanied by a brass section, the harp can be heard in the whole film over and over again. The theme entirely fits to the atmosphere of the town London as a capital. As a town in one of its busy days. Let's say: only with some murders. It is a very beautiful harp theme. Well, sometimes the plot could have been quicker.

    Inspector Craig (Hansjörg Felmy) walks as if he would just need some money for a new radiator.

    This quote above was once published by the film reviewer and Edgar Wallace film expert Joachim Kramp, who also wrote some books about the Edgar Wallace films. I think this could be right, but I wouldn't prefer an Edgar Wallace film that is too quick. That wouldn't be suitable. Crime thrillers needn't always to be hard or brutal, the plot in general is important.

    I can just recommend that film!
