Confronting Helen at the Lone Point Switch Tower, Denning and his pal imprison the girl in a clothes closet and then steal everything of value. In making their getaway, the crooks accidentally upset a lantern and set the tower afire. Helen, by picking the lock in the door with a hairpin, barely escapes death in the flames. Denning and Orkanz board a freight and escape. Helen emerges from the burning building just as a local passes. A desperate run enables the girl to swing aboard the last car. Hastening forward the girl informs the engine crew of what has taken place and induces them to overhaul the freight, now on a siding. Realizing their danger, the crooks hold up the freight engineer, compel him to cut his engine loose and speed away. Helen meets this strategy by having the local's engine crew sidetrack the cars and then drive their locomotive in pursuit. In danger of capture, the yeggs desert their engine and flee. The engine crew follow. Orkanz and his pal circle back, climb aboard the freight engine and open the throttle. Helen runs after the locomotive and just succeeds in swinging aboard it. A hurled wrench lays Orkanz low, while the girl's pistol holds Denning up. Helen assumes charge of the engine and is running it back when Denning turns the tables upon her. By this time, however, the engine has reached the spot where its crew is waiting and Denning suddenly finds himself in the grasp of the railroad men.
