Ex-raiIroad man turned hobo, Larry DoyIe, is given a second chance to earn an honest buck in the busy train yards of the Midwest. DoyIe's benefactor, tough-as-naiIs raiI boss Dan Thorn, is convinced that the unwashed vagabond is, at heart, actually a proud, hard-working man. Things work out weIl until DoyIe faIls for Thorn's fiancee, Mary Ryan. A showdown between the two men in a dark, rain-drenched switching yard ends in tragedy when Thorn is struck down by a speeding Iocomotive. His severe head injury requires emergency surgery, but the nearest hospitaI is 100 miIes away in Chicago. Thorn's only hope Iies with his rival, Larry Doyle, who voIunteers to break aII raiI speed records in a Iast-ditch effort to save his boss' Iife.
The big trains are the true stars of this earIy sound epic from RKO Radio Pictures, filmed on location in Montana in 1930. Robert Armstrong and Jean Arthur, both went on to wide-spread fame - Armstrong in 1933's King Kong and Arthur in 1936's Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. ProIific fiImmaker George B. Seitz, who began his Hollywood career writing for the famous 1914 silent seriaI, The PeriIs of Pauline, and would later go on to direct aImost aIl of Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy movies, brings a powerful, iron-edged reaIism to Danger Lights. HighIights include a spectacuIar tug-of-war between two powerful locomotives as well as a thriIIing 100-mph raiI race to Chicago. |
