 Axel (Jack Elam), an old prospector, thinks he s being haunted by the Ghost Train, a wreck that nearly took him to his death twenty years before. When Axel vanishes, a circuit judge (Abe Vigoda) orders a trial for the banker (David Huddleston) who wanted Axel s claim. But Luke s suspects also include a nosy newspaperwoman (Alison Shanks)...and just maybe, an actual ghost.
