En pleine guerre civile en Chine, Shanghai Lily, une séduisante jeune femme à la réputation sulfureuse, monte dans un train à destination de Shanghai. Cette femme séduisante enflamme la passion profonde de deux hommes à bords. Beaucoup de surprises sont réservées dans le Shanghai Express, elles ne seront pas toutes dues à la guerre…
