The False Order (1913)

The sensational crux of jealous revenge in "The False Order" is a head-on collision of two enormous locomotives. A realistic effect that heavily discounts any stage device ever materialized to thrill. A page of vivid romance torn from the life of a young engineer, who is lured on to seeing certain death by the deadly lie of a drunken rival. Happily he is saved for a long and useful life by a trick of fate, and the well directed energies of a wrecking crew.
