Companions in Crime

Two stories, in the Scotland Yard Series to show that crime does not pay. This was a compilation of two episodes from the television series Stryker of the Yard (1954) featuring Clifford Evans

Lady in the Fog

In this murder mystery, a woman's brother is killed in a freak accident, or so she believes. Fortunately for her, an American journalist is more suspicious and so begins roaming the London streets in search of the killer.

The Black Widow

Mark Sherwin is driving down a country lane when he comes across someone laying in the middle of the road. Thinking it is someone who has been hit by a car he stops to see if he can help. What he gets for his efforts is a vicious belt to the head from a lead cosh. He is then relieved of his wallet and his car. Several minutes later having somewhat recovered, he staggers to a nearby farmhouse and collapses.

Darby and Joan

Darby is a blind girl and Joan is her elder sister. The story revolves around Joan's passion for Yorke - an idle scamp - and her marriage to his uncle, the family benefactor.
