Production

The film was produced by Julius Hagen, the owner of a film production empire based around Twickenham Studios. The film was shot at one of his other studios, located in the Elstree complex, and also included extensive location filming in the Alps. It was directed by Vorhaus who had worked on a number of earlier films for the company. Vorhaus was so impressed by the performance of Margaret Rutherford in a theatre production he saw her in, that he insisted on casting her in the film. He added a new comic relief role to the original play especially for her. The film's art direction was by Andrew Mazzei.

Hagen had an ambitious programme of films for 1936, but his failure to secure effective distribution led to financial problems and the collapse of his company the following year during the Slump of 1937. Vorhaus directed one further British film, Cotton Queen, before returning to America.

After being released from prison Jim Kent, a leading forger, is approached by an international counterfeiting organisation. He rejects their offer of employment as he intends to go straight, but when he discovers that his nephew is now working for the outfit he travels to Switzerland to try to help him out. An ambitious young detective from Scotland Yard is also on the trail of the forgery ring, and mistakenly comes to the conclusion that Jim Kent is still working as a master counterfeiter.
