- Six discharged trainmen, penniless and destitute, break into the Railroad Station where they blow open the safe and loot the mail bags. Disappointed in not finding any money they decide to wreck the Limited Express so as to rob the passengers and the Express Co.'s safes. The next scene brings us to the signal man's home. His wife followed by the faithful dog is leaving the house to bring dinner to her hard working husband. We see her nearing the signal tower. While the husband partakes of his plain dinner, the Wife pulls the switches. After a short stay she turns homeward,going through the woods over the hills. Suddenly she sees before her six men and hears how they are planning to rob the train. Before being able to retreat she is noticed by a spotter, overpowered and bound to a tree. The six men go down to the railroad where they pile ties across the rails to wreck the express train which is soon due. In the meantime the faithful dog found her mistress and, chewing up the rope, sets her free. Running down the road, the signal-man's wife sees the ties laying across the track. Unable to remove the same, she hastens towards the signal house to ask her husband to stop the approaching train and thus saving it from wrecking. Before she has time, however, to carry out her intention she hears the train coming. Quickly she unfastens her red petticoat and flags the train to stop. Having accomplished this she is the recipient of a shower of congratulations and thanks from the grateful passengers. After the train left she proceeds to walk home. Spied by the wreckers who are furious that their plans have been spoiled, she is felled by one of them and placed upon the railroad track so that the approaching train would sever her head from her body. The ever faithful dog, finding her mistress laying upon the track, takes hold of her dress and pulls the lifeless figure from the track just before the limited express--which surely would have killed her- passes. Shortly after this, the heroine is found by her husband who went out in search of his wife. The train wreckers break open the barn, pull out the hand engine, place the same on the track and quickly make their escape. The engine, of the limited express, however, disconnected from the train and pursued the fleeing criminals. After an exciting chase in which the engine pulls nearer and nearer to the fleeing wreckers and after exchanging many shots, three of the desperadoes are killed while the others are overpowered, bound to the hand engine, taken back to the train, placed in irons and taken into the baggage car. The picture ends with beautiful likeness of the heroine and the faithful dog.
- The scene is laid in a little fishing village located on a rocky coast and just around a point from the lighthouse. For several years past a number of vessels have been wrecked in a mysterious manner between the village and the lighthouse. There were several well-known fishermen in the place, who could have told why if they wished, and could have told of the beacon fire on a ledge of rock, between the two projecting cliffs beyond the town, which stood at the edge of the sea and whose top commanded a view far and near. The fire was only visible from the ocean side of the cliffs. These men were secretly wreckers and one of them had a young and innocent daughter, who never dreamed of her father's business. She had two lovers, the favored one a young sailor, the other was a young man above the village people in birth and education, and was an assistant to the old doctor there. He and his rival had been the best of friends until the girl made a choice between them, when a quarrel leading to blows followed. They were reconciled, however, through the girl's efforts, and one day went up to the top of the big cliff to see if they could discover any trace of a strange light that a sailor swore he saw the night before when coming in from sea. The young doctor came back alone, greatly agitated, and said his friend had stumbled and fallen over the edge of the cliff, and that he had called him, and descended to the water and searched, but could find no trace of him. They organized a rescue party, but the result was the same, and they decided the body had been washed out to sea. The girl still refused to believe her lover dead, but in a day or two the doctor was arrested, charged with throwing him over the cliff. He protested his innocence in vain, and at the trial the girl's father swore he saw two men struggling on the cliff top the fatal afternoon. That evidence settled it, and he was convicted. He was sentenced to be hung in one week from that day. The county seat was 50 miles inland, and no railroad of course. At the very last moment he was saved by the arrival of the supposed dead man. whose fall had landed him in the secret cave of the wreckers, and from which he was rescued by means of a dream which came to his sweetheart twice in one night. He was to be killed, the girl's father reluctantly consenting, but he escaped in time to prevent legal murder.
