Synopsis

A film director arranges a publicity stunt for an actress travelling aboard a prestigious passenger train. An unexpected baby makes the scheme look less like promotion and more like a kidnapping. The actress, a railway engineer and their fellow travellers are caught in the escalating confusion as the train carries the story toward its next complication.

Historical context
