Plot SynopsisThe Wrecker is based on a play by Arnold Didley and Bernard Merivale.
The story concerns the intensive search for the title character, a mysterious
saboteur who gets his enjoyment out of wrecking trains. Hero Roger Doyle
(Joseph Striker) and heroine Mary (Benita Hume) are railway employees,
and can't figure out how the Wrecker manages to be in so many places
at once. Eventually they discover that the villain sends out recorded
messages to his various minions, one of whom reveals the truth. A climactic
chase aboard a speeding train brings The Wrecker to a rousing conclusion. |
