Storyline:
Ellington, a keen editor and newspaperman, has been neglecting his wife for his work. She, irked by her husband’s selfish behaviour, has been carrying on a mild flirtation with man-about-town Paul Grayson, a flirtation which turns to involvement with murder. Ellington, smelling a story and not knowing of his wife’s involvement, sends his ace reporter “Brookie Brooks” out to discover the truth.
Additional Information:
Having endured the full 70 minutes of this film I would have expected to have been rewarded with more than what is, essentially, one location.

We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions.

- Capture 1
- 19 Jul 2018
The murderer, Paul Grayson (Anthony Hawtrey), having absconded from his flat, stands and looks behind him as he walks along Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick, London W4 looking towards Kew Railway Bridge.
In all the years little has changed except the greenery growth.

He continues to walk, stopping to look behind.
Fortunately the tide was out.
- Capture 3
- 19 Jul 2018
He stops to look across the River and let the man behind him overtake.
A little further forward than I would have wished but greenery prevented a more exact location.
- Capture 4
- 19 Jul 2018
He goes over to a bench where Margaret Ellington (Antoinette Cellier) who witnessed him shooting the girl, is waiting.
A rather wider shot to reflect the changed location.
- Capture 5
- 19 Jul 2018
Having told her where he is staying they part company.
That ramp to the shoreline no longer exists.
- Capture 6
- 19 Jul 2018
She stops to consider her position further.
Distinctly less boats now which is rather surprising.
- Capture 7
- 'Now' required
Grayson leaves on the 9.25 from Waterloo with Crime Reporter “Brookie Brooks” (David Farrar) on board. No doubt a stock shot of LSWR/SR H15 Class 4-6-0 No 476 leaving Waterloo Station.
