When all but one of the country's defensive radar stations report a false missile attack, Steed makes a bid to buy some property near the radar station that was the exception. Soon he finds himself invited, along with six other prospective landowners, to a New Years Eve costume party aboard a train. In the midst of the party, their train car is left stranded at an abandoned station in the middle of nowhere... Then people start turning up dead!

One of the young, attractive partygoers boards the train twice!
