This murder mystery set in London's square mile of vice has one fundamental flaw - it's too "nice". Even the baddie - whom we identify quite quickly in this hour long drama isn't really so evil! We are, however, taken on an interesting tour of the eclectic clubs and cafés of a Soho where the buses and tubes have long since packed up for the night, but where there is always a late night watering hole frequented by all forms of human life. The plot centres around a journalist trying to track down a strangler. He encounters a girl who has become separated from her boyfriend and soon she is a target for our villain. It's got very little going for it, I'm afraid - neither the action nor the dialogue do much to make/keep it interesting but it does convey a sense of the downtrodden sides of post war London we see less of.
