    Will Hay had a thing about spooky crooks. Just as the villains in Oh, Mr Porter! exploited a local legend to keep snoopers at bay, so the smugglers in this corking comedy play on the myth of the headless horseman to go about their business undisturbed. The setting is a sleepy coastal berg where the police station is in danger of being closed down because Sergeant Dudfoot (Hay) claims there is no crime. Naturally, he and his accomplices (Graham Moffat and Moore Marriott) are on the fiddle. Marcel Varnel directs with brio.
