When it looks like newspaper man "Rex Banner" (Peter Reynolds) is being framed for a murder, he and his wife "Maxine" (Honor Blackman) must try to find out just what happened and who might want to frame him! It's a rather messy detective yarn with one too many red herrings and some pretty mediocre writing. Blackman stands out but that isn't hard, and Gordon Jackson really ought to have read the script before he took the part of "Florian". Katie Johnson ("Miss Bissett") steals the show, but features way too infrequently to rescue this bog-standard afternoon feature from the well trodden path of sleuthing journalists with their glamorous assistants and a less than competent policeman.
