During a rainy Sunday afternoon, an escaped prisoner tries to hide out at the home of his ex-fiance in this 1947 crime flick directed by Robert Hamer (Kind Hearts and Coronets).

When an unexploded WWII bomb is accidentally detonated in Pimlico, it reveals a treasure trove and documents proving that the region is in fact part of Burgundy, France and thus foreign territory. The British government attempts to regain control by setting up border controls and cutting off services to the area.
