- SynopsisA fake glider crash and disappearance of the pilot is arranged by Rex Black and his wife, Stella, to claim £50,000 insurance money. Stella later meets Rex, as arranged, in Spain posing as an Australian millionaire. Rex plans another coup but is disconcerted by the arrival of Stephen Wade from the insurance company, apparently on holiday, who seems to be following them. Stella and Stephen begin to fall in love and Stephen assures her that he really is on holiday. Having got the money, Rex determines to escape and when Stephen follows in his car, runs him over a cliff. Stella, horrified, gets out at Customs and Rex drives on to steal a plane from the airfield which crashes into the sea. (Synopsis)
