Pte. Carter's Crime

At an Army base some thirty miles outside London, Private James Carter is falling for one of the girls who occasionally works in the canteen; a mysterious American named Eve Dorien. Arranging to meet her outside the camp, Carter is attacked by two men wearing theatrical make-up. He breaks free from them and returns to his barracks. Next morning, the police arrive and arrest him for the murder of Miss Dorien. His clasp knife, which he had lost the day before, had been used to kill the girl and disfigure her face, making the corpse unrecognisable.
