Hugh Halliday

The deputy manager of a London bank has worked out a way to rob the branch of £200,000. When he becomes involved with the attractive Lady Dorset he decides to go ahead with his plan. He needs her help and that of her philandering spendthrift husband. It all comes down to a matter of trust.

A female private detective, Harriet Zapper, is hired by a rich old man to find his missing children, and becomes involved in counterfeiting and murder.

Jimpy leads a gang of kids as they attempt to beat another gang, no matter how underhanded their tactics are.

Freddie, a motor mechanic, rescues a baby, and twenty years later he offers to become responsible for him - Tony - when he is put on probation for petty theft. Tony abuses his kindness by involving Freddie's two adolescent children in a bank robbery, in which he panics and kills the cashier. With his associate, Spud, and the children, Harry and Monica, he makes for London.
