Gripping low-budget b-movie portmanteau thriller featuring fast-cutting from director Bernard Vorhaus and impressive location shooting on the Great Western Railway. A speeding passenger train is occupied by the usual assortment of London commuters. There's a pair of pickpockets pursued by a plain-clothed detective (Frank Pettingell), an eloping couple shadowed by a jilted suitor aiming to rescue his beloved from a conman, an interfering nag, and so on and so forth. What none of these passenger's know is that their ride may well be their last: The crazed engine driver Bob Holt (Julien Mitchell), forced into retirement, and consumed by jealousy over what he believes to be his fireman's, Charlie (Hogan), dalliance with his wife, intends to kill himself and his passengers by crashing the train into Mulchester's terminus station. Fortunately, there's yet another passenger on this particular journey: A psychoanalyst, Sir Wilfred Rhodes (Godfrey Tearle), heroically clamber along the speeding train to anxiously persuade Bob to give up his suicidal intentions before it's too late.
