- Synopsis:
John North (Richard Todd), a struggling writer, is eloping with his mistress Susan (Christine Norden) following an incidental quarrel with his wife that morning who's frustrated that her husband refuses employment offered by her father, considering their perilous finances. After meeting Susan in London, he detects they are being followed both in the street and at the railway cafe where they have a cup of tea, though Susan is dismissive of his concerns. Once they are on the train, he still can't rid himself of his unease as they sit discussing their new life together. North is guilt ridden while recollecting the quarrel and feels affection for his wife. Seeing Susan is asleep, North goes out into the corridor to try and gather his thoughts and it is then he again sees the man he believes has been following them. At this point, North hears from a train inspector that they are approaching a point on the line noted earlier by North to be near his property. Troubled by his escapade and suspicious of the man following them, North sees an opportunity of an exit from his dilemma at a point when the carriage is fogged up with steam and pulls the emergency communication cord to stop the train. As the train stops, he jumps off and traces his way to his property. The train is stopped just a couple of minutes away from his house. When he gets there, he finds his wife, Carol (Valerie Hobson), waiting for him with expectation. Feeling a burst of relief and love for her, they chat and embrace... - Actors:
