La banda de la rana (1959)
Una banda de delincuentes tiene atemorizada la ciudad de Londres con sus delitos: tras cada fechoría dejan como señal la marca de una rana, y su misterioso jefe oculta la identidad bajo un grotesco disfraz, en el que destacan unos ojos terroríficos. El inspector Elk, encargado del caso, se enfrenta a un problema insoluble: no hay pistas útiles, y los testigos potenciales guardan silencio por miedo a morir. Richard Gordon, sobrino del jefe de Scotland Yard, inicia su propia investigación, y sus pesquisas le llevan a un club nocturno, el “Lolita”. Varios personajes sospechosos se cruzan en su camino...
