There's a plot afoot to steal the Crown Jewels! It all starts when a corrupt businessman breaks a two-bit crook out of Dartmoor prison. Why? To have him impersonate one of the guards at the Tower of London, where the jewels are kept. There are a bevy of sordid characters running about in this slickly made Rialto Studios Edgar Wallace film, but perhaps the best is Klaus Kinski as a finger-sucking killer who pulls the trigger without hesitation. Although neither Heinz Drache or Joachim Fuchsberger are present (or Karin Dor for that matter) Traitor's Gate is a lot of fun with a cool ultra-caper plotline beefed up by lots of good performances. Always nice to see Aren't in comic relief. There's a bit of nudity in the strip club scene, which serves as a back-drop for one of Kinski's murders.
