He receives word that the female operator at Lone Pine is being discharged to make way for a man with influence. Armstrong has reasons to resent this and goes to the office to submit these reasons to the board of directors. He tells how, five years before, he made his way to this little station as a tramp to seek shelter; how thugs attacked the station-master and himself, bound, gagged them and prepared to wreck a train that had passengers and gold aboard. He tells them how he managed to telegraph with his foot for aid; how the same girl, who had taken her sick father's place in the neighboring station, received his call over the wire and managed to get to the wayside cross road in time to flag the train; how the tramps were arrested, and later Armstrong was given a good job. Armstrong's story convinces the directors. They agree with him that the girl should not be discharged. The superintendent tells them that it is immaterial to him whether the girl works or not, as he expects to marry her. Armstrong simply could not see injustice done, even though its effect would be nil. Later the young lovers are happily married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
