Having Michael Callen on board a train, an obnoxious man who has written a tell all book about police corruption with a group of cops attending a police convention in Los Angeles is a guarantee of homicide. Fortunately Commissioner Stewart MacMillan from San Francisco is also on board and he solves it before the train pulls into the City of Angels.
Callen is also traveling with his girl Friday Linda Evans. After he's dead there are some attempts on her and one on Rock Hudson as he starts to get close.
Another locked room mystery if you view the moving train as a locked room. Not as good as some MacMillan stories because billing gives the villain away. One more thing however, the villain is the one you think can't have done it because of certain circumstances. But that one who can't have done it is the one who indeed does it.
Susan Saint James is very pregnant and staying at home. Rock Hudson is accompanied by his trusty aide John Schuck and Nancy Walker who is hitching a ride to Los Angeles aboard this police special that railroad executive Murray Matheson has chartered for the cops. She doesn't lend all that much assistance, but Nancy Walker is always good for a few laughs.
