Synopsis:

This film was the first Glyn Houston Harold Ayer directorial role for Academy Award Winning Director Guy Green OBE BSC. In this 1954 Insigna Production, full of gritty London Locations, Judy (Phyllis Kirk) is a radio operator aboard an American ship, who is duped into smuggling diamonds. Held by customs, Judy is in further trouble as the man who duped her is found dead in the river. Detective Inspector Dan Barker (John Bentley) helps Judy by tracing the receiver of the diamonds.

A London police inspector is patrolling the river looking for smugglers, when he becomes attracted to a woman working as a ship's radio operator. When the woman turns up in possession of some smuggled gems, the inspector must determine whether she knew about them or was just being used. If she is guilty, he must arrest her in spite of his feelings. If she is innocent, he must protect her from the smuggling gang, which is known to silence anyone who might talk.
