- Box Car Bill and Journeying Jim, two typical hoboes, awake in a hay-stack and are chased out of the field by a bull. They arrive at a lunch-wagon near the far terminal of streetcar line and sit on the steps, pining for a meal. The lone street-car of the "Lazy Line" reaches the terminal and the crew, leaving their caps on the car, run into the lunch-wagon for a bite before starting back. A crotchety travelling-man, in a hurry to catch a train, paces up and down beside the car, looking for the crew. The tramps hear him say to himself "I'd give five dollars to make that 4.30 train." They get an inspiration, sneak into the car, put on the caps of the motorman and conductor [unreadable] the traveler, saying "Give us the five, we'll get" [unreadable] and speed down the track. People on the [unreadable] car and the boys decide they might as well get [unreadable] fares they can.

Unable to back up for a passenger, they pick up the car and turn it around. Another time as Bill is helping a lady off, Jim starts the car and leaves Bill far behind. Bill seizes an old fashioned high bicycle from a small boy and chases after the car The car crosses a bridge and Bill rides up the girders and across the top of the bridge. He jumps from the bridge to the trolly wire and rides on that until he hits the trolly wheel of the car. This throws him off and he falls through the roof of the car and goes on about his business of collecting fares. When the real car crew find that their car has been stolen, they telephone the car barns and several car men are sent out with another car to stop the thieves. The two cars meet at full speed. A bad wreck seems inevitable. The tramps, however, jump their car right over the other car and continue on down the track. A broken bridge looms up ahead but the tramps fail to see the danger sign and the car crashes through the bridge and into the river. As a finish, the two tramps float down the river on the top of the broken car, dividing their profits from the trip.

- A towering 11-story structure of steel and glass, the Huber Breaker, built in 1939 processed 7000 tons of Anthracite coal per day. With the decline of Anthracite and the end of the industrial age, the Huber Breaker closed in 1976 and was left to rot. As the Huber Breaker decayed, it began to take on a new persona, transforming from a symbol of industry into a place of exploration and reverence for an era long gone. It represented history, ancestry, and the importance of holding on to memories of an industry that both built and destroyed many lives. Beyond The Breaker explores the connections between people, place and the legacy of coal mining that still influences Pennsylvania's Anthracite region.
- Bridget, a cook, is in love with Clarence, the cop, whose affections are centered elsewhere although he occasionally makes love to Bridget for the sake of the pies and doughnuts which are always forthcoming at such times. One day as he is leaving the back door after a pie-feast, he accidentally drops a note out of his helmet which Bridget finds after he is gone and proceeds to read. The note pertains to an appointment for that afternoon and is signed, "your own sweetheart. Ellen". Bridget realizes that she is being "worked for a good thing" and resolves to go to the meeting place and spy upon her supposed lover. She conceals herself behind a signboard and watches as Clarence and Ellen meet in front of it. Ellen begs Clarence to take her to the carnival that night and although he is supposed to be on duty, he plans to dress in civilian's clothes, disguise himself with a moustache and meet her at the carnival at eight o'clock. Bridget hears all this and, being armed only with a frying-pan, she goes home to prepare a fitting revenge for that evening. The cop hides a suit of clothes and a big moustache under a bridge so that he can get them later. Moon Faced Mike, a crook finds the clothes, puts them on and throws his own ragged ones into the river. The crook wears a big black moustache and, attired in the Cop's clothes, he looks exactly as the Cop intended to look. The sergeant of Clarence's precinct steps under the bridge to light his pipe and stumbling on his way out he drops his revolver unnoticed to the ground. Shortly before eight, Bridget, armed with a huge revolver, starts for the Carnival grounds. Ellen is already there awaiting her lover and Clarence goes to the bridge. He finds his clothes gone and in looking for them he discovers the sergeant's revolver. He recognizes it and decides that the sergeant must have over heard his plan. So in fear of losing his job, he hurries back to his beat. Ellen is waiting in the Carnival grounds as the Crook drifts in, in search of pockets to pick. Ellen sees him, and mistaking him for the Cop in his disguise rushes up and throws her arms around his neck. The Crook is surprised but wholly pleases until Bridget rushes up and opens fire with her "Gatling". Not knowing what else to do, the Crook runs with Bridget close behind. A wild chase through the Carnival grounds ensues with some hair-raising stunts on a merry-go-round and a Ferris wheel, after which the Crook leaves the grounds and seeks safety elsewhere, with Bridget, blazing away, just one jump behind. They run through a Chinese laundry leaving it in ruins and then through a saloon which they wreck completely. They climb a high chimney, leap from the top of that, several hundred feet to the top of a wireless station tower and run out on the "wireless" wires. The operator starts to send a message and Bridget and the Crook are shocked off the wires and fall to the roof of an office building. They chase around the roofs and jump to the group where Bridget pre-empts an automobile and gives chase in that. The poor Crook dives into the side window of a brick house. Bridget drives the car right through the brick wall and chases him throughout the house, smashing the furniture on the way and throwing inmates into hysterics, and tearing through the brick wall at the other end of the house, she chases the Crook on down the street. The police station looms up ahead and the poor Crook takes refuge there, running up a long flight of steps and into the judge's room. Bridget, in the auto, follows right up the stairs and, bursting into the run, confronts her supposed lover. He appeals to the police to save him. They recognize him as Moon Faced Mike, wanted for burglary and look him up. Clarence enters in uniform and Bridget seeing her mistake, throws her arms about his neck. "All's well that....
