Cast

It was the second Australian TV production from Patrick Barton. Many of the cast were relative newcomers to Australian screens. It was advertised as "live modern suspense drama".

Reception

The TV critic from the Sydney Morning Herald thought the script was "pointless sensation seeking... more than ordinarily tiresome. Why this weary reshuffling of mildewed dramatic effects in an English setting should have been called worth reproducing in it Melbourne studio is difficult to understand."
