| Synopsis
| - 600.0
- In disguise, The Unknown infiltrates an occupied French village, as all the men are being marched onto an armored and well-guarded train. He befriends a young lady and she happens to know the schedule of the departing train, and that it will lay over until night at Desjard and then proceed. That evening, the Unknown’s plan, based on this info, is told by him to his two French henchmen. They steal an ill-guarded German staff car, and as they drive away, one German recognizes “der Unknown!” At the high end of Montmons Grade , at a spot where two tracks cross, the three set up a large mirror. When the slave train arrives, the engine crew see an oncoming train, then jump, and most or all of the German soldiers aboard also jump from the train. Meanwhile at the rear of the train, three stealthy figures climb aboard.
The Unknown works his way to the engine and brings the train to a stop. The slaves get out, and the two henchmen lead them to relative safety among a group of French Resistance fighters. The Unknown meanwhile has re-started the train and is working it up to top speed, racing toward the Rupp munitions factory. One German officer, Von Rentrop, has stayed aboard the train and now covers The Unknown with a pistol. One short fistfight later, Von Rentrop is ejected from the engine cab and off the side of a bridge, to his probable death. Several hours later the speeding train arrives at the Rupp plant, and one key track switch has been lined for access to a particular spur track, leading directly to a really large powder storage building. The Unknown has already leaped to safety well before this explosive collision
