- Helen, working alone on the late shift, guards a strongbox full of money. When two robbers make off with the money, Helen goes to great lengths to prevent the crooks from escaping with the loot.
- Two yeggmen hold up Helen, on night duty at Ferndale, lock her in a closet, and escape. Later, standing on a bridge over the freight yards, Helen sees the two bandits aboard an outgoing freight, and drops onto the roof of the car from above as it crosses underneath. A chase along the roofs of the speeding cars ensues, all of the participants falling into the water as the freight crosses a river. The train is brought to a halt, Helen is rescued, the thieves are arrested, and Helen looks forward to next week's hazard.—Anonymous
- Bill and Pete, yeggmen, learn that a large sum of money has been left in the care of Helen, who is on night duty at Ferndale. The men are successful in holding Helen up. After locking the telegrapher in a closet, they escape with the money. Helen's predicament is discovered and she is freed. The report of the robbery causes the railroad officials to decide to supplant all female employees doing night duty with men. Helen thus finds herself out of a position. Shortly afterward, Helen, standing on a bridge which crosses over the freight yards, sees Bill and Pete climb aboard an outgoing freight. Filled with a desire to capture the men, the girl takes a frightful chance and drops to the roof of one of the cars as the train passes beneath the bridge. Helen hastens to the caboose, where she tells her story to the train crew. The men run forward and find Bill and his pal on one of the flat cars. A furious struggle ensues. Bill frees himself. Climbing to the roof of the next car, he rushes toward the caboose. Helen, however, sees him coming. She tackles the yeggman and knocks him flat. The two fight on the roof, finally rolling off the edge just as the freight crosses a river. The train is brought to a halt. Helen, struggling in the water with Bill, receives assistance when several brakemen dive off the bridge. Bill and Pete are placed under arrest. Helen's heroism is reported to headquarters and the brave girl is reinstated.—Moving Picture World synopsis
