The story

William Fitch is a seedy lawyer who finds himself marked for assassination by a forger whom he previously defended unsuccessfully. He teams up with an incompetent solicitor to try to prevent the deaths of others involved. The film climaxes with a sequence where Fitch hangs from the hands of the clock face of Big Ben in an attempt to prevent a time bomb being detonated.
