This could easily be a Thin Man type of spy caper. Dick Powell is all aboard as an American agent William Gannon looking to give a missing German scientist asylum in America.
Only Hillary Wade (Hazel Court) wants to do the same for the secret service but she could be working for another foreign power, maybe the Soviets.
There is a dodgy Frenchman called Maurice Duveaux and they all sit down together to eat dinner on the train. Duveaux later gets stabbed and there is a bit of chemistry between Wade and Gannon.
Maybe it is that old English duffer Colonel Wilkins who is up to no good or he is just a traveller still in love with the empire.
There are a lot of twists in this teleplay. Powell is effortless, Court is good as the femme fatale type.
