Jack Carter, the enforcer for London crime bosses Sid and Gerald Fletcher, decides to return to his hometown of Newcastle to investigate the suspicious death of his brother Frank. Although the Fletchers protest, as they worry that their business contacts will resent Carter’s intrusion, Carter insists on going and takes the train north. Upon his arrival, Carter is stood up by Margaret, Frank’s girl friend. In a telephone conversation with Margaret, Carter learns that Frank’s teenage daughter, Doreen, is staying with friends rather than her.
