- The hijacking of a shipment of gold from a bullion train is thwarted by the station agent's young daughter who changes the signal lights.
- Jim Drake is station agent at Winslow Junction. One noontime his wife and little child bring his lunch, and the baby becomes interested in the chains that turn the signal light outside on the platform. Drake laughingly shows her how to work them while she claps her hands in delight. That evening Drake receives a message from the Division Superintendent instructing that No. 6 is running as a "special" with bullion from Goldfield, and will not stop at Winslow. Before turning in, Drake smokes a pipe in the moonlight and accidentally drops the message on the platform, while searching his pockets for a match. It is found by two tramps who instantly decide to stop the "special" and secure the bullion. Holding Drake up at gun-point, they bind, gag and place him under the table in the office, turn the signal light to red and hide nearby to await the coming train. Meanwhile, Mrs. Drake is called out to nurse a neighbor's sick child and little Mary, rousing from her sleep and finding her mamma gone, determines to go to her father at the station. Running down the tracks she enters the station office, calls for her papa, but cannot find him. Suddenly she sees the signal light chains, clambers upon the table and, crowing with delight, turns back the danger light to the one giving the "special" a clear track. Hiding nearby, the two tramps are astonished when the train rushes through the station at high speed, and are amazed to see the signal reversed. Muttering deep curses they hasten away in disgust. Arriving at the station in search of little Mary, Mrs. Drake discovers her husband, releases him and little Mary is made the hero of the hour when Drake learns it was she who reversed the signal light and saved the bullion.—Moving Picture World synopsis
