Synopsis

Biograph summary: Reuben and his girl take a trip to New York for the purpose of seeing the sights, and of course take a ride in the subway. They are first shown boarding an express train at 14th Street to take a ride to Grand Central Station, where they get out to take a local, but are crowded by a bunco steerer, who gets away with Reuben's wallet and makes him miss his train. Reuben makes a jump for the parting train, but falls on the third rail and is hauled out a complete wreck. A very exciting and laughable subject.
