There, the sleuth teams from Mary, a maid at the hotel, that Burke resembles her missing husband to a remarkable degree. Joe Ivans, forest ranger, is taught telegraphy by his sweetheart. Betty. The latter is the daughter of the operator at Benson. Burke overhears a conversation between the sweethearts and thus becomes aware of the fact that a shipment of bullion is expected on the Fast Mail. Securing the assistance of two desperadoes, he arranges a holdup. The crook promises to meet his men at the spot where this is to take place. Betty, riding in the vicinity, learns of the plot. Climbing atop a telegraph pole, she taps the wire and flashes a warning to Joe, who is at the Benson station. Joe notifies the sheriff and both set out for the scene of the intended holdup. The desperadoes discover Betty. The latter attempts to escape but is brought down by a bullet just as she reaches the railroad tracks. The Fast Mail is barely a hundred yards away when Joe and the sheriff appear. Taking in the situation, Joe throws his lariat. This encircles Betty's shoulders and the girl is yanked from the track just in time to save her from being ground under the wheels of the express. In the meantime, Drydan confronts the crook just as the latter is about to set out to meet his accomplices. Burke tights like a cornered rat. The battle ends when the crook crashes against the corridor railing. This gives way and the fugitive hurtles to his death. Joe and the sheriff capture the desperadoes. Upon their return, they find that papers discovered upon Burke, prove him to be Mary's husband. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
