Frank Gorshin and his girlfriend, Joyce Taylor, are on the run from the law when apprehended and arrested by the Sherriff, David Janssen. During the transport to jail Gorshin escapes and in the ensuing chase a forest fire is started. The nearby small town is threatened and the only means of escape is by train, led by David Janssen.

While the film was set in Oregon, the burning bridge was filmed in Grays Harbor, Wash.
I have been to the site of the bridge and have been down to the bottom of the canyon where the bridge collapsed. The engine is still upside down in the river and the passenger cars are cut in two and laying on the side of the river canyon floor.
At low water the wheels are all that are able to be seen of the steam engine.
I had to use ropes to get down to the bottom.
The area has grown up now and one would never know what lies at the bottom of the canyon unless they had seen the movie.
