His father, president of the W. and R. Ry., writes to his superintendent asking him to give his son a position as fireman and cautions him to let no one on the line know who he is. While on his first trip over the road as fireman. Bob meets Peggy, the line superintendent's daughter, and it is a case of love at first sight. Later Bob and Peggy meet again under dramatic circumstances. The train stops at a way station and fire is discovered in a car next to one that is loaded with powder. The agent happens to be busily engaged at the station and Peggy notifies Bob of the fire. They back the train to the water tank, where a stream of water is turned on the burning car and the fire extinguished. During the next three weeks Peggy and Bob become ardent lovers. This is much to the displeasure of Peggy's father, who orders the young man from the house, saying he is only a fireman and has "nerve" to aspire for the daughter's hand. The two lovers are not discouraged, however, and a scheme is fixed up to elope. They run to a waiting engine, climb aboard and make a rapid run to a nearby town, where a clergyman is taken on the locomotive. Peggy's father learns of the flight of the lovers and follows in another engine. The laughable situation that follows and the final triumph of Peggy and Bob bring a decidedly novel climax.
