- As murder mystery fan Nikki Collins (Deanna Durbin) travels by train from San Francisco to New York, she accidentally witnesses an old man being murdered from the window of her carriage. When the police refuse to believe her, she turns to successful mystery novelist Wayne Morgan (David Bruce) for help. The trail goes cold when Nikki can't find the murder scene but then the chance viewing of a cinema newsreel reveals the victim to be none other than shipping magnate Josiah Waring (Thurston Hall).

Lady On A Train - Lady on a Train review by LJ
A woman witnesses a murder but when no one believes her she investigates herself, dragging a crime writer into the plot with her. It's an entertaining crime comedy although the comic elements can be frustrating and it’s obvious who the villain is. Despite the fun plot, it's not at all memorable.
