A smart-aleck mystery novelist agrees to board the Orient Express to get the goods on an arms dealer for a newspaper editor pal. But when his passport is lifted by a pickpocket, he finds himself forced to pose as the husband of passenger Booth, unaware that she's a reporter who's also on Kronsky's trail.
