Helen, the telegraph operator at the Lone Point Station, shields Miguel, a greaser, under suspicion of having stolen some horses, until the real thieves are caught. Miguel is, nevertheless, told to clear out. Up in the hills the crew of a freight train set out with a lumber car whose load of poles has shifted dangerously. Passing down the mine siding, a premature blast blows the brakeman off the deck and the car runs wild back to the main track. Miguel sees it and, prompted by gratitude to Helen, races his horse to the Lone Point station ahead of the wild car. Accompanied by Helen, whose horse is tied back of the station. Miguel races down the track and succeeds in lassoing an upright of the lumber car. He circles away from the car, holding the rope taut while Helen leaps from her saddle and pulls herself hand over hand to a foothold. After that nothing is too good for Miguel the greaser.
