In this outing, Shayne is escorting a secret witness to a high profile trial via train, and as usual there is murder and plenty of twists and turns.
Lovely Mary Beth Hughes stars as Helen Carlson, a star witness that Shayne must protect and get to San Francisco at any cost. Her testimony can help save a man from a prison term, and there are those that want her dead.
There are a lot of red herrings in this film and Shayne has to go thru each one to find a killer and protect his client. A nosy female reporter, Kay Bentley (Lynn Bari) makes the case more complicated.
This film has a brisk pace and is a joy to watch. I was surprised to see Mantan Moreland show up as a porter on the train. He is always a welcome addition to any film.
This is another fun and entertaining entry in the series and if you've never seen any of these films, this isn't a bad place to start. Recommended.
