Plot[]
The Rebel Set
Mr. Tucker, proprietor of a Los Angeles coffee house, has developed a scheme to commit an armored car robbery during a four-hour stopover in Chicago during a train trip to New York. He recruits three down-on-their-luck patrons as his accomplices. They are out-of-work actor John Mapes, struggling writer Ray Miller, and George Leland, the wayward son of a movie star.
Tucker and his henchman Sidney fly ahead to set up the robbery, which is successful. Once back on the train, Leland's greed gets the better of him, but Tucker double-crosses the trio, eliminating Leland and Miller. Mapes is the only one left alive to stop Tucker from getting away with murder and the money from the robbery.
