He refuses to part with his mother's ring, given him on her death bed, without which he cannot raise enough, and so jumping a passing freight, hopes to reach his destination. Almost there, the train taking a sudden curve throws him off. Mary, the foreman's daughter, witnessing the accident, hurries to his aid; unable to lift him, she drags him to her home on a gate. After recovering Tom starts to work in the oil wells, and, infatuated with Mary, gives her his mother's ring. The foreman, returning to work, catches the engaged lovers and orders his daughter home. Tom offers to explain the situation, but her father refuses to listen. After a fistic battle the lover becomes unconscious, and, losing his balance, falls on the moving belt. Mary, rushing to his rescue, catches him just in time to save his life. Her father, finding out his mistake, apologizes and gives his consent to the marriage. A year later Tom writes home, saying that he has struck luck and made good at last. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
