Dick Barton at Bay

This was the last of the Hammer Pictures Dick Barton movies. The lead Don Stannard was killed in a car accident after attending the wrap party for this movie.

Professor Mitchell is a scientist who has invented a death ray that can explode enemy planes from a distance. He and his daughter has been kidnapped by Serge Volkoff and his team of foreign spies.

Dick Barton got a coded message from Phillips, who was meant to guard the professor. Instead he was chased down and killed by two sinister men.

Dick Barton and Snowy have one clue. An imprint of a of a three fingered hand on the glass of the phone box that Phillips phoned from.

Volkoff has plans to eliminate Dick Barton himself.

Based on the BBC radio serial. The acting never amounts to much. The action and story is very much B movie standards. There is a scene when you know it is dummy thrown off from the top.
