Plot

As described in a film magazine,[1] Bing (Gibson) fondly adores Joyce (Wood) and she really loves Bing, but is not into giving him any encouragement. One day Bing flirts with Stella, who is riding in a rail inspection car with her father, a railway company manager, which gets Joyce angry. Stella likes to do daredevil stunts and pranks, and when the train reaches the next railroad station she sends back a message to town that it has been held up. Bing gets the message from the railway agent and races to the scene. In the meantime, 'Wearie' Willie (Corey) is conducting an actual holdup, and Bing arrives in time to get the draw on him. The conductor, however, misconstrues the actions of Bing and fells him, allowing the real bandit to escape. Stella relents of her actions and trails Bing. Bing catches the bandit just as Stella arrives and, after some explanations, everything is cleared up.

gollark: It *should* fallback to normal HTTP if something doesn't support websockets but I never actually tested this.
gollark: Anyway²! Exciting news: the osmarks internet radio™ frontend™ now uses websockets. This should mildly reduce HTTP traffic to your browser, improve latency a little bit, and pave the way for possible future improvements.
