Tony, a half-breed Mexican is kicked from pillar to post, but he grasps a chance for revenge on society when he peers through the station window and sees Helen, the operator at Lone Point, opening the express company bag containing a valuable shipment to a local rancher. Tony overpowers Helen and makes away with the package. He runs down the track and comes to a train standing unguarded and climbs aboard. In a second he is tearing away at a great speed. Cowboys, aroused by Helen's cries, come to her rescue and she is released from her bonds. Helen, knowing of a short-cut, jumps on a horse and starts cross-country on a reckless ride. She reaches a stretch of track before the engine bearing the Mexican and climbs aboard a freight train on a parallel track. When the Mexican passes she jumps to the engine, grabs the bag, and leaps to the ground. The engine is going at great speed but it is soon brought to a stop and the Mexican starts on foot for her.
