A man picks up a £20 note blowing around in a park (a lot of money in 1935) and relishes his good fortune with his girl at Margate....except the money was connected with robbery and murder and he is arrested although innocent. A train accident gives him his freedom but complications occur to make things very difficult for him and his girlfriend, later his wife. He is faced with a moral dilemma and eventually decides on a course of action detrimental to himself.
The film lasts under an hour and the director George King keeps it moving along until the satisfactory ending. Carol Coombe and Cyril Chosack play the hapless couple and are adequate. The always welcome Moore Marriott gives good performance and is quite moving when he talks about his deceased wife. The ubiquitous Ben Williams is also good as a warder.
There is some pleasant exterior filming including a lovely opening shot of the River Stour in Canterbury.
