Terry Nolan, stationmaster of a railway station that is robbed of metal ore, is suspected and arrested, but he escapes from the sheriff. While making his getaway he meets Nora, daughter of railroad superintendent Dan Murphy, whose car has collided with a wagon; and she drives him back to town. Assuming the name of "Tim McCloskey," he obtains a position as yard foreman and risks being jailed to be near her, though Dan objects to his daughter's marrying a trainman. Terry marries her aboard a flat car, however, in the presence of her father and Harry Allen, a disappointed suitor, who pursue them on the fender of a locomotive. It is revealed that "Tim" is actually an escaped thief, but Nora accidentally learns that Allen is behind the thefts. Nora is captured by the gang, but Terry follows to their hideout, rounds up the bandits, and rescues Nora.—AFI
