- While called the Tell Tale Heart, the plot differs significantly from Poe's short story of the same name.
- The results of serious traffic accidents caused by careless driving are displayed.
- Following in the bloody footsteps of the auto-accident documentaries produced by Highway Safety Films (HSF) of Ohio, with their color footage of mangled accident victims, came a number of independently produced imitators seeking to outdo the HSF product for grue and shock value. Of these, DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY a/k/a/ RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE is probably the most infamous (and sought-after), produced by the "Suicide Club" (Dean Robinson, who also narrates). The main difference between Robinson's film and those of HSF is that, while the HSF offerings consist solely of movie footage of accident scenes, DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY is composed largely of still photos retouched with red ink to underline the gruesomeness. Offered for our inspection: charred corpses scraped from burned cars, a young man cut in half, a young woman with both arms and the top of her head sheared away, and the grand finale: two young children with their arms torn off, pictured first at the accident scene and later side-by-side on a mortuary slab.
- A Confederate soldier shames his mother and sister by going AWOL during battle. His sister takes his place, with tragic results, leaving him to live out his life in shame, hiding to protect his family name.
- The Keystone Hotel hosts a very prestigeous beauty contest. When the cross-eyed judge presents the first prize to an elderly cleaning woman, angry members of the audience respond by hurling custard pies. The Keystone Kops are summoned, and arrive just in time to get plastered with pastry.
- When the Civil War begins, young Billy runs away from home to enlist in the Northern Army as a drummer; he's wounded in battle and taken prisoner. He manages to escape and deliver an important message to his commanding officer, but loses his life in the process.
- As a joke, several members of the gang convince Farina, who is "brave but superstitious", that he's caused the demise of a young acquaintance and must therefore lay the body (actually still very alive) to rest in the old burying ground, under the watchful eye of "the graveyard witch". The joke backfires spectacularly on the pranksters.
- Actors Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand do some sightseeing at the San Francisco World's Fair in 1915.
- Betty is the telegraph operator at the railway station in the small town of Oreland. She realizes that the new guest at the local boarding house is "Smoke Up Smith, a notorious car thief". Betty and the other guests devise a plan to capture Smith, but while Betty is telegraphing news of Smith's whereabouts to the proper authorities, Smith manages to slip out of his handcuffs and flee the town. Betty re-captures Smith following a locomotive chase, and turns him over to a detective who is also Betty's boyfriend.
- Just before she dies, an elderly married woman stashes the horde of money she's secretly accumulated beneath the false bottom of an old shipping trunk. After her death, her husband, believing himself penniless, has to leave their old home and move in with his son's family, where he's treated with no respect or consideration. Also on the scene is a newly-hired kindly young housekeeper (Mary Pickford); she and the old gentleman become close friends and eventually run away together (taking the old shipping trunk with them).
- A bumbling grocery-store employee must deal with such job-related problems as a conniving boss, unruly customers, a baby alligator and an escaped lunatic, all of which culminates in a wild melee involving hurled cakes, pies, buckets of jam and bags of flour.

At first she's dazzled by the producer's surface charm as well as those bright lights the title refers to, but eventually gets a dose of reality (after accidentally becoming involved in a murder and a race against time to save a condemned man). The film also includes a truly hair-raising train crash.
