Communicating with his pais
outside, Daly informs them as to the date upon which he is to be taken from the jail to State’s prison. Kling, the head of the gang, arranges to hold up the train carrying Daly and effect the man’s rescue.
On the day the holdup is to be staged, Kling and his pals abandon their original plan wlien they see a railroad clerk carrying a moneybag. Knocking the man unconscious, the bandits steal the money. Kling sends his men to raise the Ewing drawbridge and thus hold up the train, while he, appropriating the clerk’s handcar, carries the loot to their rendezvous.
Helen, however, learns what has occurred. Derailing Kling’s car, the girl seizes the moneybag as it drops to the
ground, places the car upon the track and then speeds away before Kling, half-stunned, can pursue her. Traveling at full speed, the girl telegrapher is within thirty feet of the drawbridge when it commences to rise.
There is no time to halt the handcar. Helen therefore throws the moneybag aside and leaps for the rising structure just as the car hurtles into the river below. The crooks on the opposite side of the stream see what has taken place and, when Helen climbs down the bridge, attempt to capture her. By this time, the train on which Daly is being taken to prison, approaches. Helen’s plight is seen and a number of men go to her rescue. Daly attempts to escape but is speedily subdued. Later, the moneybag is recovered and Kling and the entire band captured.
