When the automobile in which they are escaping breaks down they take to a handcar. Helen pursues them down the track while the Sheriff and his posse set out to head them off on a short cut. The gang reaches the drawbridge and after crossing bind the bridge tender and raise the bridge to prevent Helen from following. Momentarily baffled, she suddenly bethinks herself of her lariat. Tossing a noose around the end of the bridge girder, she spurs the horse from under her and then swings out through space to the opposite bank of the river. The crooks have taken to their handcar again, but Helen reaches the bank in time to board the express and continue the pursuit. Needless to say, "Red" Purdy and his aides are finally brought to justice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
