Two crooks, played by Charles Arling and Hugh Fay, try to get the money away from its owner but are unsuccessful. Anna Luther goes out of the station and has a love scene with Earl Rodney, an engineer. Fred Mace, the station agent and father of Miss Luther, runs out and is doused by the waterspout, when the engineer starts off with the girl. Mace grabs the girl, berates the engineer and takes her back to the office. Meanwhile the engineer tears his overalls and sends for another pair. The messenger pockets the money and returns with Mace's pair which Mace had hung up to dry. Mace has to get up in his night shirt to attend his duties when a passenger train arrives. He sees his daughter again with the engineer and goes over and discovers Rodney wearing the missing overalls, which he reclaims. Then the money sent by the wealthy man arrives. Mace sees the two crooks hanging around and puts it in his coat pocket for safety. He goes away on a fishing expedition with the village constable. The crooks try to break open the safe but are unsuccessful. They escape with the girl and the safe on a handcar, also taking Mace's coat with the money. The girl had telephoned the next station. A messenger arrives, rescues Mace and the constable from the quicksand and they call the police. Rodney with his engine overtakes the crooks. They get the handcar off the track and escape with the safe and the girl on a streetcar. Rodney has escaped death by jumping from his engine when it was in collision with another train. Police with Mace, Rodney and the Constable start in pursuit of the crooks in automobiles. They come abreast of the cars and there is a lively exchange of bombs until the street car goes over a cliff and the crooks are captured by the police. The station master recovers the money and gives his consent to the wedding of Rodney and his daughter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
