Danger Trail #1 (1950)

| Synopsis2 = Treasury agent Vern Hastings is late for his train at the Cherbourg station in France. A beautiful woman and two crooks are waiting for Hastings on the train. The girl runs into his arms after he jumps on the train and begs for a kiss. Unfortunately for Hastings, the girl also jams a gun into his back and declares she is part of Operation C. She comes up with a plan to stop the criminals; she will shoot in the air twice and Hastings will play dead. Frankie and his partner come in to investigate the shooting, but Hastings jumps up and surprises them. He shoots at the gunmen but is out of ammo. As he and the woman flee the train, Vern is shot in the shoulder. The pair jump out of the train and roll down an embankment but are followed by the criminals. The woman reveals herself to be Sally Greer, a correspondent for the Paris Sun. She had previously infiltrated a counterfeiting operation led by Jack Devlin. Despite recording evidence from the gang's conversation, she has been set up to take the fall for a killing for which the gang was responsible. Hastings was sent to France to team up with Sally on Operation C, but she had been intercepted by two hoods from Devlin's gang. Back in the present, the gang members try to scare the pair out of hiding but only manage to explode an old Nazi landmine from WWII, killing themselves. Taking shelter from an oncoming storm in a windmill, the couple are surprised by an aged farmer. The farmer helps them get to the nearby city of Caen where the pair take the train to Paris. Sally returns to the bridge where she left her recording device, while Vern hangs back with the French police. When Devlin and his gang attack, the police get in a shootout. Vern, however, blacks out. He awakens in a hospital with Sally at his side. She explains that Devlin was wounded in the shootout and confessed. Her recording device was useless all along, but the gang fell right into her trap. In the end, Hastings gets the girl and the case is solved.
