- His dismissal brought about by Wadsworth, engineer of the Through Freight, Rand, a fireman, plans to cause the man's death. The freight is about to make the steep descent between the summit of Pine Hill and Lone Point, on the following day, when Rand renders the airbrakes useless by closing an angle valve between two cars. The scoundrel attempts to escape on a passenger train. He meets with retribution when he falls from the car and is mortally injured. Hanson, a lineman, who goes to his assistance, learns Rand's story. Hanson immediately wires to Lone Point, where Helen is stationed. Meanwhile, Wadsworth, frantically endeavors to ascertain why the airbrakes refuse to work. Helen, realizing the peril which menaces the runaway, dashes to a water tower under which the freight must pass. Climbing out on the spout the brave girl waits until the freight is directly below. Then, although the slightest slip means death, she leaps down to the top of one of the cars. Although badly bruised, Helen hastens forward and reveals the source of the trouble to Wadsworth. The valve is turned on and the runaway halted. Helen's heroism wins her another proffer of marriage, but she informs Wadsworth she does not love him.—Moving Picture World synopsis
