Summary

Pathe synopsis: The war against crime continues - and science plays a large part in bringing the thieves to book. Among many devices which alarm the thieving fraternity is a wages bag which emits an ear-piercing howl when snatched; for jewellers a case that does the same if moved even fractionally from the counter; for practically anyone with valuables in a safe, there is a magnetic "limpet" which fits over the lock and quietly dials 999 if disturbed!
