Michael Gough stole the show as the ailing butler Alfred in Batman and Robin. But this dowdy little drama from his dim and distant past is one picture he'd probably prefer to forget. Long believed to have perished in the Brazilian jungle, he returns to haunt wife Elizabeth Sellars and her new beau Ronald Howard. Adapted by Michael Pertwee from his own play, this was one of director Michael Anderson's earliest features - within five years he would have The Dam Busters, 1984 and Around the World in 80 Days under his belt. From little seeds ..

Martin's plane crashes in the jungle of Brazil. Nobody believes he survived. In the meantime his wife, Sally, has fallen in love with another man, Dr. Harper. Martin is found and returns to Sally. Unable to face his demons, Martin considers ending his life. Or does Sally do it for him?
