This adventure film is a film about smugglers. Filmed in lavish Technicolor, The Man Within is a rousing tale of smugglers, betrayal and redemption. The story is told from the point of view of Seaman Andrews (Richard Attenborough), the ward of 19th-century smuggler chieftain, Carlyon (Michael Redgrave). Feeling persecuted by his stern disciplinarian guardian, Seaman Andrews jumps ship and turns Carlyon over to the customs officials. A deadly fight ensues, during which both Andrews and Carlyon escape and head their separate ways. Upon befriending the stepson of a customs agent who was killed by Carlyon, Andrews agrees to testify against his onetime friend and protector in court. To bind the bargain, Lucy (Jean Kent), mistress of the Crown's Attorney, makes love to the impressionable, misguided Andrews. Finally realizing that the forces of justice are no more ethical than his fellow smugglers, Andrews refuses to testify against Carlyon, and is himself thrown into prison. Incredible though it may seem, a happy ending results from all this intrigue. In the United States of America, The Man Within was released in a slightly shorter version, retitled The Smugglers.

L'invention que tout le monde recherche est définitivement du type science-fiction. C'est une pince à cravate spéciale qui, lorsqu'elle est utilisée avec une paire de lentilles de contact infrarouges, permet à l'utilisateur de voir à travers les murs ! Le type qui les a volés au professeur en fait bon usage en les portant en jouant au poker et en nettoyant ! Il devrait penser plus grand. La première chose que fait Roger lorsqu'il découvre cette petite nouveauté est de s'en servir pour espionner sa copine en train de s'habiller ! C'est plus comme ça. Ce film fait vraiment le tour. Nous voyageons de la Riviera à Genève à Paris à Casablanca (la Casbah pas moins), et à Copenhague. Nous avons même droit à une visite de la brasserie Tuborg. Il y a une fusillade prolongée entre les réservoirs de bière géants.
