Set in 1950s Britain, Bentley and a young accomplice, Christopher Craig, break into a warehouse and are confronted by the police. When the police attempt to arrest Craig, Bentley shouts "Let him have it!"which could have meant "Give him the gun" or "Shoot him." Craig then shoots and kills a police officer.
