Plot

Reporter Peter Bradfield is fired from his newspaper for failing to deliver an interview with big businessman Hector Rodman. Plucky Bradfield subsequently becomes a photographic equipment salesman, and accidentally takes photos of two men in conversation. Unbeknown to him, these men are the businessmen's lawyer and his secretary, and are plotting to embezzle a fortune in bonds from Rodman, and planning to frame his workshy son George for the crime.

Cast

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The development of the story is always obvious and the direction and acting are poor. There is very little suspense and the humour is mainly unintentional."
TV Guide called the film a "Negligible British effort".
