After robbing the bank at Orlock, Cherry and Newton make their getaway. When on the outskirts of Lone Point, the men cut the telephone wires. Helen, however, learns of the robbery. Never suspecting that the crooks are headed for the station, the girl is taken by surprise when Newton and his pal hold her up. The men compel Helen to give them tickets for the Limited. This done, Newton and Cherry force the girl to climb into the attic. After locking the door, the men board the train. Just as the Limited is speeding past, the girl telegrapher smashes the tiny attic window, climbs out upon the sloping station roof and leaps aboard the last car. Crawling forward, Helen tells her story to the engine crew. Accompanied by the fireman, Helen hastens to the conductor who is also informed as to what has transpired. The train crew rush into the car where Newton and Cherry are congratulating themselves upon their escape. Realizing what has occurred, the thieves jump out of the window. Helen, however, is determined to bring the men to book and follows them off the speeding train. The Limited is halted and the train crew hasten to assist the girl, who is fighting both men. Newton and Cherry are overpowered by the trainmen and made prisoners.
