A compound noun

One of the most affecting films I have ever seen, Death Line is one of the most intelligent and bold horror films ever made. The opening scenes of a wealthy and dour civil servant stalking clip joints in Soho sets the tone for a grim and seedy, but very accurate portrayal of life in 70s London.

Can I rephrase the underlined compound noun to the following?
: clip joints that stalks a wealthy and dour civil servanat

Thank you in advance for your help.
