Shot on location at the Toronto Islands, this thriller was produced by Eric Till and was modeled after the British thriller genre. The story took place in the fictional town of Medlow, located in the Thames Valley and site of Buckingham College, a public school. A body is discovered in a houseboat and the mystery unfolds week by week.
David Henderson was the principal suspect in the murder of Paul Rocello, a new immigrant to England. Henderson was housemaster at the college, but the facts didn’t necessarily point to him.
