Hapless hitman Percy Nuttle (played by Henry Rome) before his fateful
encounter with serial pet shop owner Madge Miggins (Ethel White) on the
6.30 train to Penge. Percy would never make it home. Due to be released in 1939, the entire film stock of Kiss the Blood Off My Hamster was lost during the Blitz. Only a few tantalising stills and a postcard are all that survive.
Now completely forgotten by the British public, Rome and White were once the biggest celebrities of their day. They worked on many British movies together, including the legendary The Shadow of Siam.
