Plot

Escaped convict Paul Langley tries to reach his wife who is about to have a baby.

Cast

Critical reception

TV Guide wrote "The suspense builds up towards the end, but the plot is unrelentingly downbeat"[5] whereas Classic Movie Ramblings called it "a very well-crafted thriller...really an excellent little movie";[6] and Noirish noted "one of those unexpected gems that occasionally bring joy to the B-feature watcher’s heart."[7]

Home media release

The film is available as a Special Feature on Edgar Wallace Mysteries volume 2, released by Network DVD in 2012.[8]
