When a young man is wrongfully arrested on a murder charge his friends rally around to help him
This drama was based on the 1945 novel of the same name by Norman Collins and should not be confused with the seven-part mini-series made by Thames Television and shown in 1977. The book was released in the US as Dulcimer Street, hence the alternate title of the film. The opening titles roll to an aerial trip down the Thames which appear to show some trams on several of the bridges but the views are not that distinct. However, this panning sequence ends with a much clearly view overlooking Vauxhall station, first stop out of Waterloo. A tram does make a much clearer appearance in one of the later London street scenes around Westminster.
