Inspector Dyke of the Indian Police sorts out a murder mystery on the Bombay Mail train as it speeds from Calcutta to Bombay. There are plenty of suspects so untangling the affair is not easy but genial Edmund Lowe as Dyke catches the culprit of course. Lowe is surrounded by good acting from the other members of the cast, each one delineating their roles well. It's a rich gallery of interesting characters. A good mystery B movie.
At beginning the Governor of Bengal arrives at the railway station in his carriage and hands a soldier a bomb which someone had thrown at him, and says matter-of-factly to the soldier not to worry as he had defused it on the way, as if it was something routine. I thought that was funny. The phlegmatic English!
