|---|
A train station clerk is tied up and bandits board the train. The bandits rob the train and shoot a passenger trying to escape them. A little girl discovers the clerk and runs for the sheriff. A posse goes after the train robbers.
This is a classic film by Edwin S. Porter that shocked audiences with its realism.
