This is little better or more than an extension of the 1930's "Daily Mirror" comic strip about a rather hapless heroine "Jane" who frequently gets herself into scrapes that usually end up with her scantily clad (by the standards of the day) and in need of some sort of gallant rescue. In this film, she is given a bracelet without knowing that it contains an expensive diamond and her admirer and his slimy associate try to use her to smuggle the jewel into the country then to abscond with it. If one was to be seriously critical at all of this farcical little yarn, then it would that Christabel Leighton-Porter was probably just too old to portray the rather empty-headed bimbo that she was meant to be. There's a fun little cameo from Peter Butterworth as the drunk; but otherwise this is just a rather politically incorrect, forgettable, Saturday morning feature.
