Terror By Night

Terror by Night takes place almost exclusively on a speeding train, en route from London to Edinburgh. Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is on board to protect a valuable diamond from the clutches of master criminal Colonel Sebastian Moran. The trouble is, Moran is a master of disguise, and could be just about any one of the other passengers. Murder and mayhem plague the train excursion before Holmes can successfully complete his mission. Poor old Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce), a little slower than usual, is still able to demonstrate his ingenuousness and his contribution is cleverly woven into the tale.
