A pretty primitive film. After seeing her boyfriend refuse to get involved with drunken rowdies, Mary brands him a coward and goes off in a huff. Meanwhile a criminal has escaped by changing clothes with a policeman - he then accosts Mary, wanting her to aid in his escape. She tries to stall her car but is threatened by the desperate man who knows her ruse. Meanwhile the boyfriend has seen all this from the train station and in an exciting climax commanders a train for a neck and neck chase!!
Certainly at this stage of her career, Mary Pickford was no Blanche Sweet - the most interesting thing in this short was seeing Mary drive the car. From the time she and boyfriend (Arthur Johnson)jump in the car, she is at the wheel and it is pivotal to the plot - she is the one who has to drive the villain to safety.
