Observing this, Billy decides to steal one. He offers his friend Chandler part of it. Walking along, the pair observe Carmen, who has just finished a ride with Gordon. Chandler offers Carmen part of his pie; Gordon, jealous, knocks it from her hands. For this Carmen is angry. While Gordon and Chandler fight, Billy pushes his suit with the girl. Later, Billy's mother discovers one of her pies missing, finds the guilty Billy, takes him home, and puts him to bed. That night Billy dreams of Gordon trying to force his attentions upon Carmen, of Chandler rebuking him, and of Gordon's threat to secure the girl at all costs. In his dream he sees Gordon abduct the girl, carry her away on a handcar, and tie her to the track when she refuses to marry the villain. Billy, enlisting the help of a friend and his racing car, starts to the rescue. There is a wild ride, a race between engine and motorcar. Billy, in the car, dashes before the onrushing train and saves Carmen and restores her to Chandler. Then Billy awakens. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
