The story

London gangster Willie Parker gives evidence against his fellow criminals in return for a very generous offer from the police. As he is led from the witness box at his trial, the defendants threateningly sing Vera Lynn's song "We'll Meet Again." Ten years later, Parker lives in comfortable retirement in Spain. Four Spanish youths kidnap and deliver him to British hit man Braddock and his young sidekick, Myron, hired by the crime boss that Parker helped put away.
