Korchinsky (Horst Buchholz), a Polish sailor, visits his girlfriend Anya (Yvonne Mitchell), while on shore leave in Cardiff’s dockland area of Tiger Bay. On his arrival, he is enraged to find that Anya is now living with another man and an argument develops between them resulting in the jealous seaman killing his ex-girlfriend. The murder is observed by a 12-year-old girl called Gillie (Hayley Mills); she lives in an upstairs flat with her Aunt and witnesses the quarrel while spying through a letterbox. Gillie gets hold of the abandoned gun, convinced the weapon will make her more popular when playing ‘Cowboys and Indians’ with the other children in town.

An der Seite von Yul Brynner und Charles Bronson eroberte Horst Buchholz als einer von John Sturges "Glorreichen Sieben" (1960) Hollywood. Mit diesem Western gab er sein Filmdebüt in den Staaten. In Deutschland hatte ihn bereits sein zweiter Film, "Die Halbstarken" (1956), zum Star gemacht und sein Image als rebellischer Teenie geprägt..

This rapport evidently translated to the off-screen relationship between Mills and Buchholz. As she concedes in her audio commentary, Mills was utterly besotted with the (late) German actor - even after he put her off her lines by goofing around behind the camera. The occasional funny anecdote almost makes up for the peppering of uncertain pauses as Mills desperately tries to remember anything of interest from her first movie experience, almost half a century ago. She even apologises for drawing blanks on a few of the key scenes, and not much is revealed about the working relationship with her father, John Mills, who plays the investigating police officer.
