Sammy Rice (David Farrar) was the army's finest bomb disposal officer until he was injured in the war. Now part of a specialist 'back room' team, he dismantles the boobytrapped devices being dropped by Nazi bombers. He falls in love with Susan (Kathleen Byron), a colleague, and the two begin a secret affair. However, embittered by life, he feels inferior: inferior as a lover, inferior as a man unable to wear uniform, inferior in his work. Although a brilliant scientist, he allows himself to be exploited by his power-hungry boss and haunted by his past, he drowns his sorrows in whiskey. Sammy's life is descending into disarray when the news comes; a bomb has exploded with catastrophic consequences, and another has been found. Faced with the biggest challenge of his career, Sammy must face his demons and take his own life in his hands to solve the mystery of the bomb's lethal mechanism.DVDs ARE REGION 2 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATEDPlayback Region 2 :This will not play on most DVD players sold in the U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda.
