- The girl is loved by the hero and the villain. The hero wins the consent of the girl to marry him. The villain refuses to accept the girl's decision, and his advances are resented by the hero, resulting in a personal encounter between the two men in which the villain is thrashed. Burning with rage, he secures the assistance of two other villains, and the girl is captured and carried to the railroad track. She is fastened to the rails. Taking a handcar, the villains race down the track. A train is not due for a long time, and the intense hatred of the villain will not permit him to wait. He determines to steal an engine and drive the iron monster over the girl. In the railroad yard the train crew is on board a train about ready to depart. The villains overpower the crew, and the engine starts on its mission of death. But hold. The villain may yet be frustrated in his vile work. The hero has been apprised of the dastardly deed about to be committed. He must beat the villain to the scene. But how? Barney Oldfield and his racing car. The famous speed marvel listens with sympathetic ear to the story gasped in his ear by the hero, who seats himself in the car. The auto leaps forward and the race is on. Hanging from the cab window the villain sees the racer coming like a lightning streak along the road. He throws the throttle wide open and the engine fairly leaps on its way. Sixty miles an hour, seventy, eighty. The villain realizes that something must be done quickly and brings forth his dynamite bombs. These are lighted with the big black cigar which he is smoking. One by one they are hurled at the automobile racing madly along the railroad track. But Oldfield and the hero escape unharmed, beat the train and rescue the girl, just as the engine rushes by. The villain is pursued by the police and kills five of them. Having no bullets left in his gun he chokes himself.—Moving Picture World synopsis
