With 25,000 (pounds) of gold bullion traveling by locomotive to the English coast, officials lock it safely away in an impregnable system. Naturally, all that gold in one place arouses the attentions of the English criminals, but in 1865, there had never been a robbery from a moving train. Edward Pierce (Sean Connery) devises a most ingenious plan—enlisting the aid of Robert Agar (Donald Sutherland) and Miss Miriam (Lesley-Anne Down)—to relieve the train of its gold.
