Synopsis:

Featuring the film debut of British screen siren and post-war sex symbol Christine Norden, this Soho-set Brit Noir tells the story of two wartime friends whose civilian lives take very different paths. Featuring Ben Frankel's excellent musical score, Nightbeat is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Don and Andy, two young commando sergeants, are demobilised from the army. Unable to find jobs that suit, they both join the police where Don does well and is soon promoted, but Andy's rebellious nature makes it hard for him to accept discipline. When he becomes involved with a "good-time girl", Andy finds himself on a downward slope which puts both his career and life in jeopardy.

After the war is over, two army pals take opposite paths in civvy street. One becomes a petty criminal, the other becomes a policeman.
