with Claude Hulbert Mervyn Johns
In this film, the last in which the great comedian starred, Will Hay plays a shady, disbarred barrister on the list of potential victims for a revenge-crazy convict.
Grimshaw has vowed to kill everyone who helped send him to jail - and his first victim is the Judge. Hay and Claude Hulbert turn every situation into a mixture of comedy and black farce as they get involved in a bar fight, an inquest and a pantomime, before the climax in the House of Lords.
