Synopsis by Hal Erickson

One can't deny that Monogram's Spy Train never stops moving; after all, it is set on a speeding train. Richard Travis and Catherine Craig are the not-what-they-seem hero and heroine, who get mixed up with enemy agents, a myserious travel bag, and a time bomb. The Travis-Craig banter is incredibly sexist (he even gets away with gently slapping her face!), which in way is oddly endearing. Naturally, the Nazis are foiled in a spectacular and very final fashion. One question: this being a Monogram picture, why didn't their resident funster Mantan Moreland play the comedy-relief pullman porter, instead of Fred "Snowflake" Toones.
