Crime doesn't pay

In post-war London, a diamond raid is carried out by a gang of small-time crooks. A young boy becomes caught up in the crime when he discovers that the gang has hidden the jewels in his home. They want them back.

A standard British crime thriller interestingly set amongst the homes and ruins in 1950s London. Ronald Lewis is the charming gang leader who will go to any lengths to retrieve the diamonds. Good supporting cast.
