Train driver Bob (Julien Mitchell) is on his last journey before he retires but he suspects his fireman (Michael Hogan) is having an affair with his wife (Olga Lindo). He decides to go out in style... by not stopping and crashing the train killing himself, the fireman and everyone else!
Meanwhile the train load of newly weds (Hugh Williams and Judy Gunn), small time crooks (Eliot Makeham and Eve Gray), a doctor (Godfrey Tearle) in a race against time to save a life, neurotics (Viola Compton) and police (Frank Pettingell) get up to various antics... And just who is the guy in the sports car (later aeroplane) chasing after the train?
Fast moving (literally), the acting is also rather fast and frenetic and often a bit overdone. However there isn't time to get bored. The 1930s railway footage alone makes this film well worth watching.
