The film was made at Wembley Studios as a quota quickie by the British subsidiary of 20th Century Fox. == Reception ==

Kine Weekly wrote: "Production and acting are satisfactory, but cannot overcome a complicated and highly improbable story: defects which limit the picture strictly to quota value." The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Lurid melodrama dealing with master crook's attempts to secure jewels stolen from Indian idol. Developed on lines of 'penny dreadful,' film resolves into hotch potch of confusing episodes reminiscent of old-time chapter play. Conviction is swept by the board, sliding doors, blackjacking, man in packing case, and other trappings of highly coloured nature being characteristic ingredients. Quota supporting feature for indulgent patrons." ==References==
