So that, when it appears that the night operator has robbed Purdy, the rancher, the foreman's jealousy blinds him to further investigation, and he sets out with the punchers to deal frontier justice to the night operator. The latter is thrown into a box car at the Lone Point siding, which is then sent down grade to certain destruction. Helen arrives at the station in time to learn of the terrible deed and sets out in pursuit on her horse. She finally overtakes the locked car and leaps from her horse to the handrail. But before she can put the brakes on the open drawbridge looms up ahead, and it seems that her sacrifice will be in vain for there is barely time to bring the car to a stop. Tugging at the brakes, Helen halts the car within inches of the edge of the tracks. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
