While watching from her train window, Nikki Collins witnesses a murder in a nearby building. When she alerts the police, they think she has read one too many mystery novels. She then enlists a popular mystery writer to help her solve the crime on her own, but her sleuthing attracts the attentions of suitors and killers.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Lady on a Train' is a classic 1940s mystery/thriller. There is no indication within the provided plot summary or general knowledge of the film that the Christmas season plays any meaningful role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution. It is purely a crime procedural/romance."
