Narrow Margin

Beschrijving
Nail-hard detective Walter Brown is assigned to protect gangster's widow Mrs. Neall as she rides the train from Chicago to LA, en route to testifying at a grand jury. There's no love lost between the ill-tempered Neall and Brown, especially since Brown's partner was killed by mobsters while shielding Neall from harm. On the train, Brown makes the acquaintance of a likeable woman and her playful young son. He also comes in contact with a rather secretive fat man, who may well be a mob assassin. Not long before the train pulls into California, Brown is approached by small-time crook, who offers the detective a great deal of money if he'll permit Neall to be silenced. Brown appears to be tempted, but this is only a smokescreen to throw the crooks off the trail.
