During the time of the Great Depression, a hobo sneaks onto a freight train that is going across the desert in the Southwest of the United States. The man is awakened by a noise in the night. After he puts a lantern on, he realizes that he is not the only passenger. There is, in fact, an apparently timid boy in the railway car who does not to come out from the shadows. When he goes up to him roughly, the hobo discovers that he is looking at a woman and notices the presence of a third person.
