Synopsis

Biograph summary: This film is concededly the greatest crowd-drawer of them all. It gets the money when everything else fails, and no other film offers such opportunities for front display. Ran for five weeks continuously at the headquarters of the Brady-Grossman Co., 46 East 14th Street, New York City, and still running on the issuance of this bulletin. The action shows a railroad run, an interior comedy scene, the hold-up as viewed from the inside, then on the track, finishing with a race between the train and the bandits, who first take to the hand car and then to a horse and wagon. The robbers are captured at the crossing for an early finish.
