Wormwood Scrubs makes another of it's frequent fifties & sixties film appearances as 'Wandsmoor Prison' ("the only place where people believe I'm innocent") from which Mr Pastry emerges after twenty years for embezzlement (although his facility for making skeleton keys shows he could have got out long ago had he wanted to).
Working on a shoestring, director Leslie Hiscott's first postwar feature film emphasises character rather than slapstick, although Richard Hearne occasionally demonstrates the physical comedy for which Mr Pastry is remembered.
