Summary
Beneath Arizona's celestial canopy, a stranded locomotive exhales steam onto desert sands as mechanics tend its feverish bearings. Domestic duty compels Bill—adorned in whimsical rose-hued sleepwear—to escort a fussy Pekingese into the moonlight. Nearby, marital discord propels Mrs. Jim Frye from her compartment clad only in lace-trimmed night attire. As passions combust like desert lightning, the iron behemoth reclaims the rails without them, abandoning this unlikely quartet—man, woman, canine, and absurdist circumstance—to navigate vulnerability beneath the stars. Fate intertwines four souls through negligence, pride, and a pair of conspicuous pajamas.
Synopsis

The train pulls out leaving them beneath the winking Arizona stars.
