Plot
Ex-Colonel, now stockbroker, Wolf Merton (Jack Hawkins) returns home to find it being burgled by an armed intruder. Merton recognises the culprit, Ginger Edwards (Michael Medwin), as a former soldier who had fought under his command in a tank regiment during the Second World War. They discuss how Summers arrived at a life of crime but the burglar runs off.
The officer sets out to discover why one of his best men became involved in crime after he was de-mobbed. This is reflected in several flash-back episodes in which events during the war are contrasted with how each of the main characters cope with life in civvy street.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by Francis Chagrin, conducted by Muir Mathieson.
