A sadistic, chain wielding conductor’s (Borgnine) personal mission is to rid the world of hobos out for a free ride. Legendary tough-guy hobo A-1 (Marvin) vows to ride Shack's train to its destination and survive, proving to his protégé Cigaret (Carradine) that he’s "Emperor of the North". Simon Oakland, Elisha Cook, and Charles Tyner co-star.
