A man comes down a staircase of a large double fronted house, gun in
hand, he quietly opens the door ahead of him and is immediately shoot by a
young boy in a full Red Indian headdress. There’s a rather good-looking women (Honor
Blackman) sitting on the settee doing her mending, the man is the women’s
husband, he has a well-paid job as features editor on a large daily newspaper.
After wrestling the Red Indian to the well-carpeted floor his son carries on
playing on his own whilst dad sits to read the paper. Domestic bliss: that is until a chain of
events that begins when a telephone rings and could quite easily end with a
hangman’s noose!

| That fatal telephone call! |
This middle class crime drama which involves an infidelity between our
‘not quite as content as he seems’ feature editor Paul Pearson (Patrick Holt a
actor who was known as the Dennis Price of the B-movie) and the attractive
‘other women’ Diana (Naomi Chance) and dare we forget the real reason for our
story the rather unpleasant murder of Pearson’s card school friend Bill Forrest
(Bryan Coleman) who always gives Pearson an alibi whilst he carries out his
indiscretions. A series of coincidences
leads to a further death and the wrong man standing tall above the trap door on
a prison scaffold.
