Plot

Scotland Yard teams up with Interpol to discover the origins of stolen money in a private bank account in Rio de Janeiro.

Investigations lead to a coffee storehouse where a worker is found murdered and the remaining loot discovered.

Notes

The Britmovie website has referred to it as a "routine British crime thriller from second-feature specialists the Danziger Brothers. Denis Shaw convincingly plays Interpol detective Caesar Smith and belies his hefty build to display a nifty line in judo and self-defence."[2]

The camera operator on the film was the future film director Nicolas Roeg.[3]
