Dan Kurrie takes a job on the railroad to help out Margaret Young and her father. Villainous Joseph Garber wants to marry Margaret, and, knowing Kurrie is his rival, gets him fired. Kurrie goes to work for the Kirkwoods. Margaret mistakenly believes Kurrie is in love with Josie Kirkwood, so she consents to marry Garber, not realizing he is a crook. Garber and his gang plan to rob a payroll from a train. It's Kurrie to the rescue.
Of all the Hart films I've seen, this is probably my least favorite. It's not horrible by any means, but it just didn't capture my interest and it's probably too long. There is virtually no action until the train holdup, and by then I was getting a bit bored. As a horse lover, I can appreciate the affection shown between Kurrie and his equine pal, aka "The Boss," but it was overdone to the point of corniness. I suppose the film is worth a look, but you can find better Hart films out there.
