Life in Danger is a 1959 British second feature[1] film directed by Terry Bishop and starring Derren Nesbitt and Julie Hopkins.[2] It was written by Malcolm Hulke and Eric Paice.
Hazel Ashley, an emotionally unstable adolescent, meets a casual labourer and befriends him. At the same time, news comes that Miller, a convicted child murderer, has just escaped from a nearby lunatic asylum.
Hazel goes missing, and when local villagers led by Major Peters search for her, they find her in a barn with the labourer, whom they assume is the escaped killer. Peters shoots and wounds him. When the police arrive they report that Miller has previously surrendered himself.
