Historias de Scotland Yard: El asesino del tren fantasma

A body of a young woman is found on the ghost train ride.

It is a case for Superintendent Duggan of Scotland Yard. The dead woman was a Hungarian refugee who was recently tried for shoplifting.

She had been living in some lodgings and her landlady believes that she had a lot of men friends. One of these male friends called Johnny becomes a suspect as his alibi is weak.

However Duggan brings some undercover police women in to keep an eye at the lodgings.

They uncover a shoplifting ring and the landlady is part of it preying on vulnerable women to turn to shoplifting.

It is an episode that takes a while to get going. It finds its footing once the female undercover constables arrive. The episode moves up a few gears.

Jill Ireland plays one of the shoplifters. Carole Ann Ford plays the young woman who thought she saw a dead body in the ghost train.
