In an attempt to reconstruct a murder case, radio host Lionel Hulme advertises for information as to the whereabouts of ex-convict Arthur John Smithers, who had served a seven-year prison sentence for the manslaughter of his partner. Between them they had perpetrated one of the most daring robberies of all time, escaping with a large sum of money. Smithers was subsequently tried and convicted on a separate murder charge, but the stolen notes were never recovered. It is with the ulterior motive of obtaining the money that Hulme is now investigating the case. Try the trailer at the link above.
