    Stanley Baker is effective here as the smart-assed hoodlum "Bannion". Recently released from prison he and some associates cleverly devise a plan to relieve a race track of it's £40,000 takings. He hides the loot in a remote field but his cockiness leads the police easily to his door. Re-incarcerated, he soon finds that it's not just the police, but his erstwhile colleagues - led by the no-nonsense "Carter" (Sam Wanamaker) who want the money! Things are distinctly dangerous for the man behind bars and so getting out quickly and retrieving his loot becomes the order of the day. Joseph Losey pace...
