A disparate group of people meet as passengers on a super-speed train crossing the U.S. Aboard are a seductive confidence man, a stage director masquerading as a steward in hopes of stopping his feisty leading lady from eloping, and a woman trying to stop her husband from running away with his mistress.—Jim Beaver <[email protected]>

Broadway star Patricia Wallis (Evelyn Venable), after a quarrel, leaves the new show produced by Jimmy Hart (Victor Jory) and, not realizing that Hart is in love with her, she runs off to California with the wealthy, stodgy Freddy Arnold (Ralph Forbes) with the announced intention of getting married. Jimmy discovers that Pat and Freddy will be aboard the crack new "Streamline Express" and he also boards only to become involved in what appears to be a diamond theft. When Jimmy is falsely accused of the 'theft" by blackmailer Gilbert Landon (Sidney Blackmer), Pat comes to her senses, precipitating a hasty and startling conclusion to the mystery of the missing diamond.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
