Plot
The plot concerns an amateur detective Simon Gale (Price) who races against time to clear the name of his cousin, who is accused of murdering her husband.

Critical reception
TV Guide called the film "Overly chatty"; Cinema Retro found it "A quaint, cliché ridden drama," concluding more positively, "yes, of course it creaks a little, but if nothing else it’s guaranteed to hold your attention for its succinct 70-minute runtime"; and DVD Beaver saluted "A taut, complex whodunit with a brilliantly nerve-racking climax."
