Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Johnnie Lane, back from the war, finds Joe Slavin pestering his sweetheart Mary Reynolds in an effort to get her to marry him. Slavin, a fireman for Mary's father Jerry Reynolds on the Transcontinental Limited train, knows that the engineer's eyesight has become poor and consequently has a hold on him. The family needs money for an operation for Mary's mother. Slim and Pudge, two of Johnnie's buddies, get the needed sum from Slavin, who has stolen it from the train station safe, and later the money is returned. Johnnie thrashes Slavin, saves the Limited from being wrecked, and finally wins the affection of Mary.
