    Reluctant travelling companion

    Colt is sent to bring a woman back from the East Coast. Problem is that the woman is not going easy and refuses to go by plane.

    So they go by train and she continues to be disruptive, screaming and trying to escape. And right next to them is Richard Burton. And it seems that someone wants her dead. It's a banker - he wants to cover up what she had discovered ...

    An energetic and fun episode set mainly on the train, which means a fight on top of the train and chases across the aisle - in the middle of this is Richard Burton who is trying to rehearse for a show, but he's getting disturbed by noises that Colt's prisoner is making. And a cute prisoner.
