Spy Train is a World War II era where reporter Richard Travis and sidekick photographer Chick Chandler are pursuing heiress Catherine Craig and maid Thelma White on a cross country train where most of the film is set. Craig is the daughter of newspaper publisher Herbert Hayes who was until recently publishing expose articles from Travis about Nazi Germany and has stopped without reason and is holed up on his estate.
At the same time some Nazis are aboard the train played by Paul McVey and Evelyn Brent and they've got a pair of suitcases on their. But when you trust Warren Hymer to do a job you've got to expect the inevitable results. One contains a bomb, an act of terrorism more familiar with today's times and the second a list of underground contacts in the USA.
Now McVey and Brent have to stop the bomb until they can get the baggage with the list. As for Travis, he's seen those two before, but it takes him the whole film to remember where and when.
Everybody just goes through the motions here. What can I say, cheap sets, sloppy editing, and perfunctory performances. A typical Monogram Picture.
