The Hi-Jackers (1963)

Anthony Booth is a long distance lorry driver who falls foul of a gang of hijackers who rob him not only of his cargo (£12,000 worth of Scotch), but of his truck too. The police don't really appear to be of much help, so he sets off to solve this mystery himself. The story is quite straightforward, and the laddish Booth gives a solid performance in this cat-and-mouse thriller with a good cast of Patrick Cargill, Ronald Hines and Jacqueline Ellis to take up the slack. It's got quite a jazzy soundtrack, and at just over the hour won't challenge your grey cells too much.
