It is mainly round Ralph Lynn as D’Arey Tuck—an “ Aigy ” typo of character —that the fun is built.

IVArey plots with his pal Freddie Malone, played by Tom Walls, to got tho woman’s jewels as some recompense for the loss his fiancee had sustained. How this was achieved, how Scotland Yard was called in, and how tho experts were beaten by the coolness of Freddie, and tho simple innocence .of D’Arey enable tho production of a story that is enjoyable from start to finish.
