Billie (Carole Lombard) is on a bus, being hauled in to face felony charges, by Detective Dan (Owen Moore). The bus gets stuck in a snowstorm; and, the passengers meet William Boyd (actor), who is already holed up, in a church, waiting out the storm. It turns out that Bill (William Boyd (actor)) is also on the lam, as a wanted felon, not just a hobo. Bill and Billie have to decide whether to flee, using the storm as cover; or, stay, risking prosecution and possible execution, to help the others survive the storm.
