A phantom criminal is at work aboard the night train from New York to Montreal, leaving his victims bound, gagged and penniless. Joan Marshall is victimized but vows to see the Phantom captured and joins forces with detective Val Lennon.

Risking his life to bring the killer to justice, Lennon goes undercover. Posing as a rich traveler, he prepares for a final confrontation with the phantom.

Midnight Limited -Mignight Limited takes place during an eventful nonstop train trip from New York to Montreal. A couple of murders take place, obliging detective Val (John King) to swing into action. There is no shortage of suspects, but Val refuses to believe that pretty Joan (Marjorie Reynolds) is the guilty party-and, of course, his instincts are credit. George Cleveland steals the show as a seemingly eccentric professor, a character obviously inspired by the addlepated religious fanatic in Hecht and MacArthur's Twentieth Century. For reasons best known to the Monogram executives, Midnight Limited is interrupted halfway through with a song performed by hero John King. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |
