Disguised as baggagemen, Burgess and Whelan board the train to which is coupled the special carrying Nina Mallette and her theatrical troupe. The thieves plan to steal the actress’s gems. Uncoupling the special from the train, Whelan and his pal hurl to the ground the brakeman who attempts to interfere, and enter Nina’s drawing room.
The brakeman is picked up and his story causes word to be flashed ahead. Helen, at the next station, sees the uncoupled car traveling downgrade toward Lone Point. Rushing to the bridge under which the car must pass, Helen waits until the latter is underneath and leaps down upon the roof.
The brave girl next slides down the
side of the speeding car and enters the actress’s compartment via the window. The thieves have secured the gems. Seeing Helen approach, they leap to the ground. By this time, the special has been missed and the train is backed to the spot where the uncoupled car has been brought to a halt.
The engine crew attempt to capture the desperadoes, but the latter, fighting viciously, lay the fireman low and beat the engineer severely. Helen attacks Burgess and knocks him unconscious with a wrench. Trainmen overpower Whelan. The engineer, stunned, is carried aboard the train. Helen thereupon climbs into the locomotive and, grasping the throttle, runs the train to Harding, where a relief crew is waiting.
