Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After a violent argument with her husband, a famous actress is discovered by her ex-lover, Robert Tisdall, drowned on a beach. Police arrive and arrest Tisdall on the testimony of witnesses who saw him with the body. He is accused of the murder. As he is about to go on trial, he escapes from the courthouse with the help of Erica Burgoyne, the resourceful daughter of a Police Constable. At first, Erica doesn't really believe Tisdall is innocent, but she's so attracted to the young man, she continues to help him elude capture while searching for the real killer, risking her life and her father's reputation. Their only lead is provided by Old Will, a china mender, who can identify the murderer, a man with noticeably twitching eyes. Written by alfiehitchie |

| Trivia | (Director Cameo) Alfred Hitchcock: Outside the courthouse holding a camera as Robert Tisdall (Derrick De Marney) escapes (at about 0:16:10). See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 50 mins) When Erica Burgoyne and Robert Tisdall have taken refuge at night in a small town by parking her car next to a siding just before where the railroad underpasses a bridge, the entire scene has been staged and shot as an obvious miniature as revealed by three mistakes: * the somewhat jerky motion and unnatural lighting of an automobile (indicating that it was pulled) as it moves across the bridge above the railroad * the express train speeding under the bridge drags a length of cord behind it as it disappears from view * the camera tracking in closer to the parked automobile hidden in the shelter of freight trains on sidings reveals that the figures of Erica and Robert are actually modeled and painted figurines, motionless until the shot suddenly changes to a medium closeup shot of the two actors.
