After a loaf of bread is accidentally contaminated with rat poison a desperate police search is made to find it

This taut little B thriller contains an excellent shot of ex-GWR 9400-series 0-6-0PT No.9422 running light engine and stopping next to a drunk who has fallen down a railway embankment. This was filmed adjacent to the footbridge to the east of Beaconsfield station, which is just visible in the far distance.

A pannier tank is approaching from the right as it carries out some shunting in the yard adjacent to Beaconsfield station. The station and its attendant signal box are visible in the background.
Having spotted the body at the side of tracks the driver of No.9422 brings his locomotive to a stand beneath the footbridge that links Maxwell Road with Wilton Road.
