Brief Description of Bus Stop:
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner.  All roads are blocked, and five weary travelers are going to have to remain in the diner until morning.  A young nightclub chanteuse is being pursued by a 21 year old cowboy; the bus driver and proprietor of the café at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the café also gets her first taste of romance.  A ranch hand is traveling with the cowboy
