Film Synopsis

An odd assortment of individuals end up being locked up together in a train, each awaiting the swift and painless death they have been promised.  These wannabe suicides have yet to be apprised of the fact that they have been duped by an unscrupulous con artist.  The waiting for their welcome release becomes unbearable and some are driven over the edge into insanity.  Eventually, the waiting is over and the door of the train is opened.  The detective that is in the midst of these unfortunates finally succeeds in unmasking the swindler, but not before several of the train's determined suicides have had their last wish granted...
