Plot Synopsis

Routine b-movie thriller adapted from the pulp novel Murder in Mayfair by Carry On screenwriter Norman Hudis. Fading Hollywood actor Jeff Morrow travelled to England to take the lead role in this effective whodunit and receives strong support from Hazel Court, Lionel Jeffries and Anthony Dawson.

At London’s Sapphire Club, unpleasant Daily Gazette newspaper columnist Gary Bax (Anthony Dawson) is poisoned and American journalist Joe Saunders (Jeff Morrow) is handed the task of writing an article about the murder. Saunders decides to investigate the columnist’s murder further when his wife, Peggy (Hazel Court), admits she is one of the many suspects and that Bax was a former lover who possessed some embarrassing love letters.

Whilst the police hunt to identify his wife, Saunders questions the many disagreeable suspects from Albert Mayne’s (Lionel Jeffries) nightclub and finds the dead body of one of them, Andrew Crest (Anthony Snell), gigolo lover of Bax’s wife Olive (Mary Laura Wood).
