Plot Synopsis

Night of the Prowler

British second-feature thriller. The director of a successful car-racing company, Trevor Watson, receives an anonymous phone call at work late in the evening; the cloaked caller later arrives at the company offices and guns down Watson. Watson’s partners, Paul Conrad (Bill Nagy) and Robert Langton (Patrick Holt), are dining at a club and receive a death threat warning them they are next on the killers list. Inspector Cameron (John Horsley) is assigned to the case, and suspicion soon falls on Don Lacey, a former employee newly released from prison that one of the directors had given evidence against in court. Conrad soon becomes suspicious that Lacey is a red herring, and that his greedy fellow director Langton could be the responsible, and trying to take control of the company for himself.
