Sadly, the exciting billings for this tale of high speed shenanigans on a train don't quite deliver. "The Phantom Robber" pinches a fortune in jewellery whilst onboard the "Midnight Limited" and soon Dusty King & Marjorie Reynolds are on his trail. Things turn more violent as they turn the heat up o ... n the culprit but nowhere near pacily enough to keep me interested. It is only an hour long, but has way too much monotonous dialogue from a pretty pedestrian cast, and precious little by way of adventure.
