A quiet, respectable bank cashier learns he has only a few years left to live, and decides to embezzle money from the bank where he works
This short but rather good crime film features several shots of the frontage to St Margarets station. There are also scenes filmed at London Victoria station with Charles Victor boarding a train formed of two 6 PUL / 6PAN EMU sets working an ‘Eastbourne’ service, as denoted by the carriage destination boards. In the background of other shots, a 4 COR unit is present as is an unidentified steam locomotive, standing at the buffer stops but largely obscured by the passing crowds. Victor’s journey to Eastbourne is depicted with a good, but erroneous shot, of a 4 SUB EMU at Barnes Bridge on an anti-clockwise Hounslow loop service. The carriage interior scene appears too convincing to be a set.
