Even though the plot has been around the block once or twice, it's still quite an acceptable crime caper. A small statue is stolen from a museum, but their getaway plane to Glasgow (long appreciated as an international hub for the smuggling of Oriental artefacts, or perhaps because it has a restaurant called "Mr. Wong's" on Sauchiehall St?) under the command of the equally statuesque Wayne Morris ("Holden") crashes. The felon makes good his escape, leaving our hero to try and track down both him and the statue so he can claim the reward to fix his rather battered plane. It's whilst on this trail that he meets, and falls for, pretty mediocre nightclub singer "Vivian" (Mary Germaine) and the two are soon heading for an action-packed denouement. A couple of nice supporting contributions from Kenneth Griffith and Walter Rilla keep it moving along well, and there is just about enough to keep it interesting - though virtually no guesswork required on our part. OK, though - a cheap and cheerful production that passes an hour.
