Chris Pepper and Charlie Salt lose their nightclub and turn to Pepper's aristocratic twin brother for help. He refuses to help them, and is then found murdered. Pepper assumes his identity, and soon discovers that he was a diamond smuggler, and was murdered by his accomplices. Salt and Pepper band together to put the criminals behind bars.
Shooting took place during the summer of 1969. It was made at the MGM-British Studios in Elstree and on location around London. Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire was used for Lord Pepper's country estate. [2]
