This imaginative romantic thriller stars Moore Marriott as 'Old Bob' the driver of FLYING SCOTSMAN, Ray Milland as Jim, a fellow employee fireman, Pauline Johnson as 'Old Bob's' daughter and Alec Hurley, the disgruntled and dismissed fireman 'Crow'. We see 'Old Bob' in the middle of two intrigues. One involves his fireman discharged for drinking on the locomotive and who vows revenge, and the other concerns a brash, young railway employee who is smitten by his daughter.
