High Treason is a 1951 British espionage thriller filmed in the style of such American "docudramas" as "The House on 92nd Street" and "T-Men". It is a sequel to the Oscar-winning 1950 film "Seven Days to Noon". Director Roy Boulting, co-director (with his brother John) and co-writer of the first film, also directed and co-wrote this one. Frank Harvey, Boulting's co-writer, was also a co-writer of the earlier film. André Morell reprises his role as Detective Superintendent Folland of Scotland Yard's Special Branch from the first film.

Plot

Enemy saboteurs infiltrate the industrial suburbs of London, intending to plant high-powered bombs at several factory sites. Their motivation is to cripple the British economy and enable subversive forces to insinuate themselves in the government. The saboteurs are thwarted not by the traditional counterintelligence agents but by workaday London police officers.
