Alan Curtis is Arthur, a bored estate agent in a Sussex village who hates his humdrum regular life. He crosses paths with the sexy Lila (Constance Smith) who must get to London and is being followed by the police.
She is mixed up with a jewel robbery and Arthur decides to follow the excitement instead of returning to his dull life. Arthur's naivety gets him into ever greater trouble as Lila finds it easy to manipulate him...
It is an enjoyable little B-movie exploring the tedium of normal life and the temptation of the darker side. The seedy streets of London contrasting with the innocence of the shires. The story has some nice twists and turns with the two leads giving great performances. The only problem with the film is that it does stretch credibility a bit, especially the forgiveness of Arthur's wife at the end!
