Aboard the luxurious high-speed express “Freccia d’oro,” a jeweller carrying precious gems is targeted by thieves who take over the train, disabling alarms and barricading themselves in the baggage car. Meanwhile, a bridge ahead has collapsed, and the train is unaware due to the thieves’ isolation of the locomotive. Panic ensues among the passengers. Just as disaster looms, the young engineer sees a glowing cross in the fog, prompting him to stop the train in time. The cross is revealed to be a rosary from his mother, reflecting off the headlight. This divine sign saves everyone, and the thieves are captured.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1935.
