Paradise Express (1937)

A small railroad run by grouchy Jed Carson (Harry Davenport) is facing bankruptcy due to the underhand tactics of a trucking company. Receiver Larry Doyle (Grant Withers) has been bought in not knowing it is the work of the crooked trucking boss (Donald Kirke) and part of his plan to get rid of the railroad and gain a freight monopoly.

Doyle, after a slightly fractious start with Jed and his granddaughter Kay (Dorothy Appleby), gets to work trying to save the railroad company despite the odds against him...

A neat little morality play of the type common at the time (when big business when hitting the real guy for real in 1930s America). The clerk Trotter (Arthur Hoyt) provides some comic relief.
