Publisher George Caldwell boards the Silver Streak, a train traveling from Los Angeles, California, to Chicago, Illinois, and looks forward to a restful journey. When Ralston, a porter, shows George to his compartment, the door to the adjoining room opens accidentally, revealing fellow passenger Hilly Burns in her underwear. As Ralston leaves, he tells George not to expect any excitement for the next two days. George visits the club car, where he meets vitamin salesman Bob Sweet, who describes the train as “a cathouse on wheels,” full of eager women looking for companionship.

Later, in the dining car, Hilly asks to join George at his table, where they discuss the purposes for their trip: George, a publisher of instructional books, is going to his sister’s wedding, and Hilly is the personal secretary to Prof. Arthur Schreiner, who is to introduce his definitive tome on Rembrandt at the Art In
