- Blake, fireman of the light engine which is being taken west to Daleton, receives a message informing him that his wife is dangerously ill. Benton, his engineer, allows Blake to catch an eastbound passenger train. It is Benton's intention to pick up a fireman at the next station. A hunter shooting at a partridge just as the light engine is passing, wounds Benton. The engineer drops unconscious. Having seen the result of his shot, the sportsman rushes to a station nearby and reports the accident. Helen, telegrapher at Downing Junction, receives word of the runaway shortly after the Eastbound Express has pulled out. Standing on the siding is a locomotive, the crew of which has gone to lunch. Climbing into the cab, Helen jerks the throttle wide open. Leaping forward, the engine rushes after the endangered express. Although her locomotive is almost derailed in rounding curves, the brave girl never slackens speed. Discovering his train is being pursued, the conductor of the Eastbound Express gives the signal to stop. Helen slows her engine down and tells of the danger which threatens. Then, while the Eastbound locomotive goes to meet the runaway, Helen's engine draws the cars to safety. The runaway is halted in the nick of time. Helen's superb heroism again results in her being showered with offers of marriage. But the brave girl enjoys her hazardous adventure too much to marry anyone just yet.—Moving Picture World synopsis
