This drama was based on the successful West End play S.O.S. by Walter Ellis, which had itself been produced as a silent drama in 1928. It features a shot of the entrance to London Waterloo station and an approaching head on stock shot of SR ‘King Arthur’ Class 4-6-0 No.789 Sir Guy. There is also an opening glimpse of Westminster Bridge upon which a tram can be discerned.

Southern Railway ‘King Arthur’ Class 4-6-0 No.789 Sir Guy approaches the camera in this low-level view. This is thought to be in the cutting just to the northeast of Surbition station with the bridge carrying King Charles Road over the line in the background.
