On the Run is a 1963 British film directed by Robert Tronson and starring Emrys Jones, Sarah Lawson and Patrick Barr.[1] Part of the series of Edgar Wallace Mysteries films made at Merton Park Studios, it is based on a story by Wallace.[citation needed]
Frank Stewart escapes from prison jail, with outside help from criminal bookie Wally Lucas. Stewart discovers that Lucas is trying to get his hands on some hidden bonds, the location of which only Stewart knows.
