36 HOURS TO KILL

By a quirk of fate Duke Benson (Douglas Fowley), a mid-level gangster, is elevated to the top of the FBI list just as he learns he's won a major sweepstakes. On board the train to Kansas City he meets Frank Evers (Brian Donlevy), an undercover agent disguised as a reporter; as well as an actual reporter, Anne Marvis (Gloria Stuart) disguised as a runaway witness to a political crime. Evers is convinced that the win is fixed and he fishes for evidence to bring Benson down. Marvis wants to get the scoop. As things heat up for Benson, they also heat up between the determined G-man and the gal reporter.
