Grace, the operator at Hillville, is apprised of the fact that train No. 7 will bring to her office $2,000, consigned to the Simpson Construction Company. Jack, the station agent, offers to let her have his pistol, while he is away to lunch, but she scorns this, exclaiming "Danger? Why nothing ever happens in this slow place." However, when the train arrives and the money is placed in the strongbox, he again prevails upon her to take the pistol, but without success. Two tramps, who have come in on the bumpers, see the bag placed in the box, and regard this their great opportunity. Waiting until Jack has gone, they break in and make for the box. It is locked and they must have the key, so they try to get to the girl, who has locked herself in her office. This failing, they load the box on a hand-car to take it away to blow it open. The girl, meanwhile, has telegraphed for aid, and realizing the tramps' design, rushes out and throws herself in front of the handcar. The tramps drag her aboard and are off. They are soon pursued by an engine from the next station ahead, and here occurs, without exception, the most thrilling pursuit ever depicted.
