A gang of criminals kidnaps the son of James Kennedy, who is an American executive of a London-based chemical company.
Kennedy ignores the advice of Inspector Hazelrigg of Scotland Yard to try a plan of his own. He wants to act without the police. The father wants to pay any ransom and simply make a business deal. He doubles the ransom amount expecting the thieves to have a falling-out over how to divide it. Rocky steals part of the money and is indeed killed for it. Evidence at the crime scene leads Kennedy to a home in Hampstead where the mastermind, Feist, is keeping Kennedy's son.
Hazelrigg comes along for a second ransom payment but agrees to give Kennedy a few minutes to enter the house alone. Armed with a flamethrower, Kennedy is able to take his son to safety while the police close in on Feist.
