Time Table (1956): Cast & Plot

Paul Bruckner, Wesley Addy a surgeon whose license has been revoked for alcoholism, boards a train passing through Arizona under the alias Dr. Sloane. His presence there is part of a caper involving a fictitious patient, and it grants him access to a physician’s bag in the baggage car. There, he blows the safe and makes off with a cash payroll of $500,000, setting the wheels of a tightly choreographed heist in motion. The thieves disembark at a remote small town with a hospital that sits well off any regular train route, and they escape with the money in an ambulance, leaving railroad officials to learn of the robbery only when the train rolls into Phoenix hours later.
