All but one of the band later succeed in making their escape from the town by automobile, but this one is forced to jump aboard a freight train to which is attached the wreck train and huge crane. It is planned for the automobile to follow the train and when far out in the country he will jump from the car and rejoin his companions. The conspirator's actions in waving to his companions as the train is just beyond Helen's station arouses her suspicions and she remembers the warning sent out from headquarters. Jumping on her horse she sets out cross-country on a short cut to warn the engineer and crew of the train. As she passes the automobile the bravest of the conspirators jumps from the speeding car to the horse's back and soon forces Helen to a stop. In the scuffle she has dropped her revolver but the spurs applied to the horse throw her captor to the ground and in a flash she has swept along the road, and leaning far out of the saddle, regained the Revolver. A short-cut brings her up with the train, but as she cannot attract the attention of the engineer, and crew of the wreck-car, grasping the situation, turns the huge crane out over the road and dropping the chain within her reach swings her through the air to the speeding train. It is but a few moments before the train is brought to a stop and the band captured. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
