    ‘The Primitives’ are a group of night club musicians, featuring an exotic dancer, who commit jewel robberies wherever they perform, drawing upon their skill with disguises in their nefarious schemes.

    Jan Holden is Cheta, well named as the female cat burglar of the team, who becomes an inconvenient love interest.

    When they rob a London jeweller, the police spot the unusual thespian quality of the crime and get on their tails.

    The Primitives was released in two lengths. The shorter version – as released by Rank Film Distributors Limited for the UK – was approximately 70 minutes long, while the extended version – showing Sergeant Henry and John searching the night clubs and strip joints for Cheta – was approximately 90 minutes in duration.
