Starring: William Hartnell and Joyce Howard
An ex-convict swears revenge on the gang that let him take the fall for the crime
This excellent crime film features a railway journey that has a number of shots of GWR expresses thrown in for good measure, though these are filmed day for night thus making exact identification of the locomotives difficult. One appears to be hauled by a ‘Castle’, whilst another is passing through Langley [Bucks] station. There is one much clearly shot a little later in the film, however, that shows Midland Railway 1000 Class ‘Compound’ 4-4-0 No.1024 pulling out of a station with a train. Finally, there is a brief shot of William Hartnell entering a station where LMS suburban coaching stock is visible through the booking office door but the location of this scene is not yet known.
