Wissenswertes
The company that produced films based on Edgar Wallace novels sued the producers of this film, who advertised it as an Edgar Wallace "mystery" even though it was clearly based on a novel written by his son, Bryan Edgar Wallace. They won, and the ads were soon changed to read "Edgar Bryan Wallace".

This is an above average Edgar Wallace thriller.Some creepy opening scenes set the pace. A hooded society passes judgement on criminals"beyond the reach of the law".They are hung and dumped into the Thames river.A hangman's rope from Scotland Yard is repeatedly stolen and used in the executions.Is there a member of Scotland Yard in the society? An inspector tries to find out.A phoney society is set up by criminals and quickly brought to an end.In the meantime a serial killer is beheading young women and absconding with their heads.

The serial killer while tying into the society feels like it came out of another movie (a sci-fi flick).The killer is a scientist trying to attach living heads to a robot's body. This drags the film down from a being a superior film. All in all still a minor classic.
