  • Shanghai
  • in
  • the
  • 1980's.
  • A
  • German
  • man
  • drowns
  • his
  • sorrows
  • in
  • the
  • Seaman's
  • Mission
  • bar
  • and
  • chats
  • to
  • Jim
  • and
  • Carmen.
  • The
  • day
  • after
  • tomorrow
  • they
  • will
  • take
  • the
  • Trans-Siberian
  • Express
  • train
  • from
  • Beijing
  • to
  • Berlin.
  • They
  • are
  • excited,
  • but
  • their
  • new
  • German
  • friend
  • has
  • some
  • words
  • of
  • warning
  • for
  • them.
  • Their
  • food,
  • books
  • and
  • other
  • valuables
  • will
  • be
  • confiscated
  • by
  • the
  • over-zealous
  • border
  • guards
  • who
  • board
  • the
  • train
  • at
  • various
  • points
  • along
  • the
  • way
  • through
  • the
  • wilderness
  • of
  • Mongolian
  • and
  • Siberia.
  • It
  • is
  • almost
  • impossible
  • to
  • avoid.
  • Jim
  • however,
  • takes
  • this
  • as
  • a
  • challenge
  • and
  • devises
  • an
  • ingenious
  • method
  • of
  • deception.
  • On
  • the
  • train,
  • other
  • passengers
  • can
  • be
  • heard
  • remonstrating
  • with
  • the
  • guards,
  • but
  • to
  • no
  • avail.
  • Two
  • Americans
  • are
  • arrested
  • and
  • removed
  • from
  • the
  • train.
  • Miraculously
  • though,
  • Jim's
  • scheme
  • works.
  • The
  • result,
  • however
  • is
  • a
  • matter
  • of
  • personal
  • humiliation
  • for
  • Jim
  • in
  • front
  • of
  • his girlfriend.
