Plot

Jumbo Johnson is trapped by the police while robbing jewels from a house. He climbs to the roof and stuffs the jewels down the chimney, then falls off the roof. Before he dies he tells his wife about the hidden loot. When she tries to buy the house Burgess the estate agent is suspicious, and finds the jewels. Victor, one of John's friends is also seeking the jewels, surprises Burgess, who kills Victor, bricking up his body in the chimney. He subsequently buys the house. Johnson's wife, realising that Burgess has duped her, claims the reward for the jewellery and alters the police.

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An inept and sometimes incoherent addition to the Edgar Wallace series, in which everybody double-crosses everybody without taking time off for explanations (how did Burgess know which chimney to look in, and wouldn't Victor's body have begun to smell somewhat before the lease was signed and Burgess able to move in to deal with it?). The resulting cracking pace is about the only thing one can be thankful for."
