Will gangster boss Fred Keating (Frankie) make it to the end of the train journey to begin his prison sentence on Alcatraz? Rival gangster Alexander Leftwich (Manny) wants him bumped off before he reaches this destination and makes sure that he has several of his gang on the case.
This film is just not interesting. There are too many characters that can cause confusion, especially the array of prisoners, all of whom seem to be lounging around in a security compartment. Not only that, but they themselves are not secured with handcuffs or anything. They are just free to lounge about. What nonsense. The ending is so abrupt and convenient that it is a total anti-climax. There is also an actress - Faith Bacon (Maxine) - who is listed way too high on the cast list given that she only has 1 short scene. She is even higher up the credits that the main rival gangster! It would have been good to have given her more of a role as she was better than the other female in this.
Train steward Clarence Muse (Sam) even has a scene where he sings a lullaby to send the detectives off to sleep. This isn't meant to be a cartoon for 3 year olds! Don't bother with this one.
