Synopsis
Through the machinations of the division superintendent (George Walton?), railroad dispatcher Gerald Boone, although tied to a chair at the time, is held responsible for both the crash and robbery of a midnight special in which socialite Ellen Harboard's father is injured, and Walton's henchmen get off with the loot. Gerald's little brother, Billy, is instrumental in discovering Walton's schemes, and the Boone brothers see a lot of action before the robbers are rounded up and turned over to the police. Gerald becomes the new division superintendent and marries Ellen.
