The Story
ym™ FLANNAGAN, hard fighting Irishman, returns from the World War to White Cloud, a railroad junction in the Sierras. His forcible personality asserts itself and he is put in charge of the wrecking crew.
On one of the wrecked trains is a cheap burlesque troupe. Jim pays no attention to the show girls until he sees Daisy, the soubrette. He makes a date to see her that night after the show.
The next day Flannagan asks Daisy to marry him. She accepts his offer and for a time they are happy. Daisy is a good cook and housekeeper, but Flannagan is continually shocked at her free and easy ways. She receives company dressed in scant attire, smokes cigarettes and moves her body voluptuously, rousing Flannagan’s jealousy. Things come to a head when Flannagan finds Daisy talking with Louie, manager of the show troupe. Wild with jealousy, he knocks Louie out. Daisy packs and catches the next train out of town.
Flannagan takes to drink and misses out on a call to clear up a wreck. Later he is discharged. For days he sits in his house, drinking heavily. Regan, an old friend, sends for Daisy. She brings with her a baby girl, Flannagan’s child. Jim is overjoyed to see them, but his old jealous doubt returns when he sees the baby. Daisy is too proud to argue or plead with him and takes a train back to the city.
Regan tells him that Daisy still loves him. The whistle at the roundhouse gives the call for the wrecking crew. Both rise as if to go, but Flanagan remembers he is no longer with the crew and sits down again.
He comes to with a start. His wife was on that train. He runs to the railroad yard and pushes men aside to get aboard the wrecking train. It is against orders, but Flannagan is fighting mad and he climbs aboard. The superintendent witnesses the incident and sends word that Flannagan is in charge.
Flannagan finds cars overturned and burning. He searches through car after car for Daisy. In the last car he finds her, uninjured but held captive by fallen timbers. He tears them away and rescues her, the baby in her arms. 1) aki!
