Produced by Malcolm Baker-Smith
It has not taken long for someone to hit upon the dramatic possibilities in a bombed house. They have been well and truly seized in this instance, for the scene is an imaginary London house in a famous square. Its end is by high explosive bomb, and its story is revealed in a conversation between a policeman and a man who knew the house and its inhabitants in the past.
