David Preston, a timid middle-class bank clerk living in the London suburbs, loses twenty-four hours in his life, and during the time he was an amnesia victim, the funds of his social club are stolen and the steward is murdered. Preston is unable to account for his disappearance to either his wife or doctor, and when the police start their inquiries he foolhardily gives a false alibi, but that is soon exposed and he is convinced of his own guilt.

Thank you
Many thanks, I'd heard of this play as the actor Arthur Lowe was on tour with it when he died in 1982.
Thanks, Rick, for another SNT. SNT before a title usually means a winner (for me).
Mostly true, although there are some that don't live up to the title. ---------------------------------- Rick
