Description

Amateur drama about a jewel heist that goes wrong. An ex-con leaves Liverpool Prison and is picked up by his criminal partner. Together they hatch a plan to steal ancient and precious jewels - the 'Green Eyes of the Little Yellow God' - on display at Liverpool Museum. After casing the joint during the day, they return at night and grab the jewels but set off an alarm. A guard investigates and is killed by the panicking thieves. Back at the hideout, one of the men is wracked by guilt and pledges to go to the police. His partner is enraged and strangles him to death, then flees the house only to be knocked down by a car and killed as the curse of the jewels strikes again.

[Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' - a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011]
