Unremarkable quota quickie

Warning: Spoilers
Leslie Banks is a respected industrialist who can't remember his past. A newspaper prints an article claiming that he was a notorious crook. So Banks takes the paper to court. Amongst witnesses at the trial are a former lover and Wilfred Lawson,who turns out to be a blackmailer.

Banks wins his case but comes to realise he was the crook. So Lawson decided to take advantage of this situation to blackmail him.

Banks life's Lawson to his office with the intention of killing him. However Lawson turns the tables on Banks,knocks him out,and makes off with money from the safe.

Lawson meets up with the former lover and they shoot each other,not before the lover makes a full confession to the police.

Very much a routine quota quickie.
