The opening line of the movie says it all, "This doesn't make any sense!" Scientists transport a virus from Mars via freight train with a biochemist posing as a conductor guarding it. Inevitably a not so bright railroad worker accidentally breaks a vial while investigating the contents of the top secret shipment, and is infected by the virus. When the train stops at a small station, the five railroad employees and the biochemist are quarantined while scientists frantically try to find a cure for the virus. The small group must stay awake because the virus will kill them if they fall asleep. They ingest amphetamines, but then sit around boring the viewer into a near sleep like state. There isn't any action and the dialogue is not very interesting. The movie has a Night of the Living Dead type of ending.
