Jackpot is a 1960 British second feature[1] crime film directed by Montgomery Tully and starring William Hartnell, Betty McDowall and Eddie Byrne.[2] It was written by Tully and Maurice J. Wilson based on a story by John Sherman.
Ex-convict Carl Stock went to jail for his part in a robbery, and he now wants his share of the loot. His accomplice Sam Hare, now the owner of the Jackpot Club, won't cooperate. Stock persuades ex-safecracker Lenny Lane to help him steal the money from Hare's office. They do the job, but Stock kills a policeman. Superintendent Frawley of Scotland Yard investigates. When the police trap Stock and Hare at Arsenal Stadium, the two criminals fight each other and fall to their deaths.
