Linda Harrison is about to divorce her estranged husband Steve so she can marry another man, Michael Carteret. But Steve has stolen Carteret's love letters to Linda, and tries to blackmail her.

The film was produced by Phil Brandon for Act Films Ltd.[2] It was made as second feature and shot at Shepperton Studios. Art Director Norman G. Arnold designed the sets.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A conventional and unremarkable little detective story whose solution becomes obvious at rather too early a stage in the proceedings.”[3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan said: ''Ordinary pocket 'meller'.''[4]
Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film call the film "a conventional but well-crafted murder mystery".[5]
