synopsis
The husband-and-wife team of William Duncan and Edith Johnson starred in this fast-paced serial about the building of a Western railroad. Rancher Jack Armstrong (John Cossar) must finish building the San Marco Valley railroad in 30 days or forfeit the franchise. Handsome engineer Bruce Boyd (Duncan, who also directed) guarantees that the work will be done in time -- and it is despite the ferocious efforts of a rival combine to sabotage the enterprise. After 15 eventful episodes, during which Armstrong's spirited daughter (Johnson) suffers the usual chapterplay perils, the San Marcos Valley Railroad is a reality.
