Featured review
A sleazy woman and a sleazy lawyer (I am being redundant) scheme to make a fortune.
Marian Radcliffe (Hedda Hopper) is an awful person. She's lost her fortune and with her lawyer friend she's scheming to find a way to get back on easy street. When their train wrecks, a woman who is a prisoner chained to an officer finds the man dead...and manages to get out of the cuffs. Marian sees this and takes full advantage-- convincing the lady to pose as her daughter or else! The plan is to get this pretty young lady to use her charms on a young heir the lawyer is working for...and marry him for the money. And, since Marian knows the lady is a fugitive, she can then bleed the young lady.
Soon after this scheme is put into place, the Sheriff arrives. He's gone through all the information on the passengers and didn't see a ticket for the daughter! However, he's NOT there to arrest her. It's turned out that she wasn't guilty of a crime after all and he wanted to let the lady know she was free...but Marian promises to tell her 'daughter' but says NOTHING!!! What's next? See the film and find out for yourself.
The plot, according to IMDb, is all about a runaway train...but that is only in the final portion of the film. This is a very exciting and action-packed portion, though, and the film was far, far better than I expected from some poverty row B-movie. The acting was only fair but the writing and action were both exceptionally good...making the movie worth seeing--especially if you like Bs.
