The signalman contrives to telephone to the station where the courier lies injured, and informs the stationmastcr that the supplies train will be wrecked if help does not come immediately. The nurse, knowing what vital issues are at stake, hurriedly enlists the help of some soldiers, and a fast motor-car is obtained. An exciting struggle of speed then ensues between the now near convoy and the automobile. The latter just manages to reach the signal-box first, and whilst the soldiers overpower the secret agents, the released signalman pulls back the levers. An instant later the express thunders past, and a thrilling film ends with the brave little nurse attending to the injuries of both friend and foe.
