As described in a film magazine reviews,[4] Bob Wilson becomes a tramp after his fiancée jilts him, but is influenced for good by Jim Fowler, a railway mail clerk. Bob gets employment with the railroad that employs Jim and works his way up to the post of engine driver. Both men fall in love with Caroline Dale, a waitress at the railroad hotel, but the young woman loves only Bob. Bob's former fiancée accidentally finds him and leaves her husband to be with him. Caroline misunderstands the situation and Bob nearly loses hope of winning her love. Bob is elevated to the engine cab of the Limited Mail train, and on his first run the train is wrecked. Jim, who is in the mail coach, is killed. Bob, fearing imprisonment for negligence, hides out with a tramp friend of his former days. One day he prevents the wrecking of another train and then returns to Caroline. He makes his explanation to the company and to Caroline, and he and the young woman are married.
