PG Herbert Lom stars in the dual role as Jules and Georges de Lisle, identical twins and daring trapeze artists. When they win the lottery, a million French francs, an unscrupulous publicity man, Terence de Marney, sends his girlfriend Penny to sweeten up Jules, who is susceptible to female attention, and con him out of the money. But when the twins find out they have been swindled, they use their identical natures to gain revenge on de Marney while having the perfect alibi. Escaping the charge of murder, fate still has retribution in store for both of them. Alfred Travers' thriller marks the screen debut of Dixey, who was better known during the war as The Queen of Striptease, keeping up morale at London's Whitehall Theatre with her peek-a-boo revues.
