Secret agent Dick Barton is out to stop Family Affair's evil "Mr. French" Sebastian Cabot from destroying England with sound waves.
This so called film was based on a popular cliffhanger radio serial on the BBC and apparently it was very popular.
The film was shot completely on location so not only is it hard to watch but hard to hear as well. Dick faces a lot of close calls as takes on the evil enemy spy ring and their giant tuning fork, a weapon worse "than the atomic bomb." He wraps the case up in about 70 minutes in time to get a pint of bitters at the local pub.
The final fight with the bad guys all filmed on location is pretty well done. The theme music called "The Devil's Gallop" by Charles Williams is probably the best thing in the film.
73 minutes.
