Good news: Switchboard operator Ruth Raymond (Mary Carlisle) is the long-lost daughter of a railroad tycoon. Bad news: The cross-country train trip she takes to claim her birthright is going to be a veritable slay ride. A crazy-quilt concoction stitched together with laughs and chills in equal measure, Murder in the Private Car is a roaring-fast caper wherein a delightfully dithering Charlie Ruggles dubiously comes to the rescue as a “crime deflector.” It’s a haunted house on wheels, complete with grasping hands from hidden wall panels, a loose gorilla (courtesy of a circus train wreck en route) and a menacing mystery voice issuing ominous threats.
