From the village to the city is about eight miles, and Steve's car is known as the "workers'" car. Henry, the "Harmless," determines to give Gladys a ride and steel her from her sweetheart, knowing instinctively the only way to secure her company would be to do this, thereby putting her at his mercy. He steals a nickel from his mother and steals the car from Steve, whom he knocks off the platform, also the conductor. Steve recovers in time to catch an auto and give chase, just saving the street car from crashing into a passing freight. Steve saves his sweetheart and the "Harmless" one is placed in an asylum.
