The Redemption of Railroad Jack (1913)
A rough looking stranger about Silverton, where the railway station is the chief structure of the place, is "Railroad Jack," a man of mystery. The agent is taken suddenly ill, and his daughter starts down the track on his railroad velocipede to light the switch lamps. At the first switch her light car jumps the tracks and hurls the girl and the cargo of lanterns to one side, which, seen by the stranger, starts him to a rescue on the run. He drags her out of harm's way just as the Limited thunders by. After administering first aid, he places the lanterns himself and then tenderly takes the girl back and arrives at the station just in time to take a message that is ticking over the wires. Time passes. The girl really begins to love the man who rescued her, when she picks up a poster, sent broadcast by a detective agency, offering a reward for the conviction of Railroad Jack, Galveston Ben and Dakota Dan, giving descriptions of the three men wanted. She recognizes the first named and instantly repudiates him. His subsequent bravery in the battle with his old comrades in crime, in a three-cornered duel, thwarts a great train robbery. He is promptly pardoned by the governor for his questionable past. He is the full stature of a man and wins the girl, so that blessings brighten his passing days.
