A nice little crime drama, though the criminals are rather inept!
A gang plan to steal gold which is being bought down to London on the sleeper train. Their heist will involve Rover (Patrick Boxhill) overpowering the guard in the van and then tossing the gold out while the train is travelling very slow uphill to where his mates are waiting (after being stopped multiple times by the police for dodgy lights or speeding).
Also on the train is newly married journalists Bob (Vernon Gray) and Mary (Ann Walford), Bob combining writing a piece on the gold with his honeymoon. Also there are the rather eccentric old ladies Agatha (May Hallett) and Emma (Ivy St Hellier) who write bloody crime novels. Plus the determined Pearl (Delphi Lawrence) who plans to shoot Rover...
All rather bright and breezy, cheap and cheerful with a motley crew of standard British characters. Not a great film though certainly worthwhile.
