Une voiture arrive dans une gare de province avec 3 personnes à son bord: un majordome, Joyce Willecombe la secrétaire du riche industriel Henry Murchison et la jeune fille aveugle de ce dernier, Lorna Murchison. Après avoir salué ses 2 accompagnateurs, Joyce prend le train pour la Gare centrale de Chicago. Alertée par l'attitude suspecte de deux inconnus armés qui monte précipitamment dans son wagon en faisant semblant de ne pas se connaitre, Joyce alerte le contrôleur, qui prévient le chef de police de la Gare Centrale, le Lt. William Calhoun. Ce dernier, sceptique, accueille Joyce à la gare. Ils prennent en filature les 2 suspects et découvrent le foulard de Lorna dans la valise que les ravisseurs ont planqué dans une consigne. Grâce au témoignage visuel de Joyce, les flics ont un coup d'avance sur les ravisseurs, menés par le vicieux et retors Joe Beacom qui a plus d'un tour dans son sac et va donner du fil à retordre aux enquêteurs…
