Corbett and Lionel Jeffries. After a criminal escapes from jail, his attempts to recover his stashed loot end in failure, as he is shunned by the criminal community and hunted down by the police.

Paul Gregory Nader, a Canadian confidence trickster operating in London targets a wealthy Canadian woman in Britain to sell her collection of valuable coins. After meeting her at an ice hockey match, he sets about winning her confidence until she is prepared to give him legal control over the sale. He then completes the deal without her knowledge, puts the money from the sale in a safe deposit box, and then deliberately waits to be caught by the police. Gregory plans on getting a fiveyear sentence, with time off for good behaviour, and then collecting his loot when he is released.However, the judge makes an example of the uncooperative Gregory by handing down a tenyear term. Not wishing to spend so much time in jail, Gregory pays Victor Sloane Bernard Lee, one of his associates on the outside, to help him escape. He makes his way to London where he plans to collect his hidden money. Almost immediately things begin to go wrong. Fearing arrest, he is unable for the moment to recover the money from the safe. Sloane also now begins to demand more money, threatening him with violence, and Gregory is forced to retaliate. ........
