It was a Hammer Film production written by Allan MacKinnon based on Lester Powell's 1948 radio serial Return from Darkness. This was the first film Hammer produced at Gilston Park. Filming began on April 17, 1951. Hammer tried to play up former singer Christine Norden as a star, but unfortunately, her career fizzled out at age 28, after only two more films.
