    A storm causes a disparate group of passengers to become stranded overnight at a rural railway station. Before the superstitious station master leaves them for the night, he regales them with a tale of a phantom train that reputedly travels the adjacent closed line at night. He returns shortly afterwards, dies of shock - and we get treated to a rather theatrical mystery as they investigate what's going on... Kathleen Harrison is quite good as the dipsomaniac "Miss Bourne" as is Raymond Huntley as "Price" but the rest of the cast struggle to eclipse the domineering performance of the film's star...
