The Hour of 13 (1952)

In the labyrinthine world of London's high society, Nicholas Revel (Peter Lawford), a suave and sophisticated jewel thief, weaves a web of deception and intrigue. Known for his charm, Revel is warmly welcomed into the homes of the city's elite, where he cleverly pilfers precious gems only to return them for handsome insurance rewards. His accomplice, a savvy cabbie, aids him in his audacious endeavors. Their latest caper, the theft of the illustrious Calgurie Emerald, unfolds at the lavish engagement party of Jane Frensham (Dawn Addams), the radiant daughter of a retiring Scotland Yard superintendent. However, fortune takes a sinister turn when this daring heist coincides with the murderous rampage of a shadowy serial killer known as The Terror, who claims his eleventh policeman victim on the same grounds as Revel's theft. The authorities, in a twist of fate, mistakenly conflate the jewel thief and the remorseless killer, weaving a dangerous narrative that ties Revel to the string of murders. In a desperate bid to divert Scotland Yard from the stolen emerald and untangle himself from the murder accusations, Revel plunges into the heart of the manhunt for the elusive Terror. As the foggy streets of London become a chilling cat-and-mouse game, Revel finds himself drawn to the strikingly beautiful Miss Frensham, who's betrothed to another man. As Revel sets a trap for the deranged killer, using himself as bait in a suspenseful showdown shrouded in the city's enveloping fog, he grapples with the dangerous implications of his double life. The Hour of 13 is a suspenseful dance of deception and danger, where love, greed, and survival collide in the most unexpected ways.
