“Train of Doom” is the eighth of 15 chapters comprising Dick Tracy vs. Crime Inc, a serial produced in 1941 and released in 15 minute cliffhanger style increments.
Tracy wants to test council member Cabot for connections to the Ghost and tells him he plans to transport a gold shipment by armored car instead of train. The sting works and the Ghost steals the car and hands it off to his men with Tracy hidden in the back. At an abandoned farm the G-Men battle the men and kill them but Tracy and Billy must grab a plane and race to save the train from the Ghost. Tracy parachutes down on to the track as the train bears down on him.
