- Helen, overhearing Tony and his accomplices plotting to derail the pay train and steal its money, is thrown into a cattle car; grabbing a revolver which one of the men has dropped, she shoots the wire controlling the semaphore arm, which then swings up and flashes the danger flag, thus averting disaster in the nick of time.—Anonymous
- Tony, a Mexican section hand, endeavors to kiss Helen. The girl's struggles attract O'Mally's attention and he floors Tony. The latter departs vowing revenge. At his orders, Velasquez and Orturo throw down their tools and quit work. Tony has discovered that the pay train is due shortly. He and his accomplices plot to derail the train and steal the money from the wreck. Helen overhears the plot, but before she can make use of the information, the Mexicans discover her presence. The girl is captured and thrown into a cattle car to prevent her from betraying their plans. While Tony and his men open the derailing switch, Helen discovers a revolver which had been dropped by one of the desperadoes, lying on the ground beside the car. With a strip torn from her dress for a line and a hairpin for a hook, the plucky girl succeeds in securing the weapon. The semaphore pole is but a short distance away. Carefully leveling her pistol, Helen shoots at the wire controlling the semaphore arm. Four shots go wild. The pay train just rounds the curve a hundred yards away when the last bullet severs the wire. The arm swings up to "Danger." The train is brought to a halt. Helen's plight is discovered. As the result of her story, the train hands institute a manhunt, which ends with the death of Tony and the capture of his accomplices.—Moving Picture World synopsis
