Set during the great depression, hobos are the bain of sadistic railroad conductor Shack’s (Ernest Borgnine) existence, and he swears no one will ride his train for free. Well, no-one but “A” Number One (Lee Marvin), who is ready to put his life at stake to become a local legend – as the first person who survived the trip on Shack’s notorious train. (Bounty Films)
