Gloria was in a cab, running away from her husband Ralph...heading toward the train station and the train that would take her away from this man whom she thought was trying to poison her. Seated on the train, she imagined him at every turn, remembering the $25,000 insurance policies Ralph had taken out on them both, and then remembered that poison bottle he had brought home. A series of events following end when she awakens in her berth on the train, then sees Ralph with an attendant in a white coat, who takes her off to a nice house with bars on it so that Ralph can never get to her again!
