Henry Talbot, the son of the president of the V.C.A.R.R., desiring to get a more comprehensive knowledge of the railroad, accepts a position as engineer on his father's road. Alma Randall, the niece of Stephen Bradish, general manager of the railroad, is reluctant in recognizing him in his position and he in turn makes it very unpleasant for her, so much so that she leaves his home. Going to the railroad station, she enters the cab of the engine driven by her sweetheart and there tells him her story. In the meantime Bradish, missing the girl and learning that she is on the express, orders a special, which overtakes the train driven by Talbot. Bradish is informed by the conductor that Alma is not aboard. At a reception given by her friends in honor of Alma's birthday, Henry is invited. As a surprise Henry's father and Bradish are also present. Bradish assumes the authoritative with Alma.
