Their compartment, the brake-rods under the car, is shown to them. They climb aboard. The train starts. The conductor receives another message saying that a crook and his female accomplice, pearl thieves, are aboard and that two detectives are coming. Nervy Ned and his valet climb aboard and steal some clothes; a man's outfit for Ned, a woman's for his valet. Ned vamps a dame as the crook knocks out the porter and takes the porter's clothes and dons them. The valet is introduced to the girl by Ned as his "mother." Complications of a humorous nature follow, and though the pearls are recovered through the efforts of Ned and his valet, the two are forcibly ejected from the train.
