The story is always suspenseful, but it doesn’t have the guts to resolve what to do with John after he completes his mission and gets the two killers who took his wife’s life. Robert Preston is wonderfully expressive as the man who is obsessed with getting revenge. It now turns into a moral dilemma, as John feels he has nothing more to live for without his wife and even though the inspector has arrested Lorna - he still attempts to make her pay for killing his wife. But the inspector soon figures out that John murdered the boxer and will also try and kill Lorna.

He brings the code to John and asks him to break it. Scotland Yard Inspector Davis (Colin Tapley) feels that whoever dropped the code, is more than likely to be the killer. That code meant a lot to him, it was a list of Christmas gifts he was going to get for Carol. The only mistake John made, was in the scuffle with Mickie he dropped a code from his pocket. When Mickie doesn’t know, he brings him to a deserted dark road and runs him down.

He tortures Mickie to find out where he can find his girlfriend companion Lorna, from that fatal night. John then visits Mickie Fraser’s apartment and confronts him as the one who killed his wife and unborn child, as well as murdered the guard. Jackie gives him phony car plates, while Chuck traces down the identity of the man John believed was a boxer. John asks the help of his former comrades Jackie (Heathcot) and Chuck (Evans), who are respectively a mechanic and a boxing instructor. Instead of reporting what he knows to the police, John decides to get revenge on the culprits by using the same commando tactics from the war. In the last conversation John had with his wife, she said she feels so sorry for the guard’s widow that if she were in her place she would do anything to get revenge on his killers. Carol, who got out of their car to join her husband looking at the field, stumbles as she tries to get away from the speeding car and is accidentally killed. While he’s struggling with the man, the woman stabs him on the hand with a scissors and the guy floors the car. John stops the car and realizes the man and woman in the getaway car were the killers of a night watchman in nearby Windsor a constable warned him to be on the watch for.

He is so elated that he has already dreamed about sending his child to an exclusive boarding school and buying a meadow so that the child can have room to play. John’s loving wife Carol (Elizabeth Sellars) was in the resistance movement with him, and is expecting their first child. He plays as a Canadian ex-colonel in the resistance movement during the war, John Graham, and is currently a codebreaker expert for the British Foreign Office, whose motto is that there isn’t a code that can’t be broken. “Robert Preston is wonderfully expressive as the man who is obsessed with getting revenge.”Ī taut revenge potboiler from Great Britain and Hammer Studio, which is aimed at an American audience by starring the Hollywood actor Robert Preston.
