The boys see no way out of the excitement but to put Shorty aboard a freight train bound for parts unknown. Shorty comes to himself with a very bad head and the sounds of a quarrel in another part of the car. He investigates and finds a bum abusing a boy. Shorty interferes and gets the worse of it. The brakeman hears the noise of the struggle and attempts to stop the fight by drawing a gun, but the bum takes the weapon from the brakeman and shoots him. Shorty is accused of the crime, but the sheriff happens to be the boy's father; he gives Shorty money and returns to his home ranch. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
