Helen, who witnesses the attack, drags Trent from the rails just in time to save him from death beneath the wheels of an oncoming train. When the tramp revives, he accompanies his rescuer back to the station. Helen allows Trent to sleep in the baggage room. Later, believing him to be one of a pair of crooks wanted by the railroad detectives, Helen turns the key in the lock. Dun and Corson, the real fugitives, enter the station shortly afterward. After overpowering Helen, they bind and gag the girl. This done, the crooks rifle the safe. The struggle awakens Trent and after a considerable effort he succeeds in breaking out of the baggage room. The yeggmen have by this time made a dash toward a train which is about to pull out. Helen is released by Trent and together the two hasten after the desperadoes. Helen and Trent see the yeggmen boarding the Pullman. A minute later the train pulls out. The pursuers barely manage to land on the rods of the last car. Determined to catch Dun and Corson before they can make their getaway at the next station, Trent braces his legs against the rods so that his body projects at right angle to the side of the car. Helen climbs out upon his form and slowly raises herself to the window above. The brave girl succeeds in crawling through the window and gives the alarm. Cornered, the crooks put up a desperate fight, but are subdued and captured. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
