After leaving producer Mack Sennett, comedy director Henry Lehrman formed his own studio. The gags to this three-reeler don't make up for its unfunny plot to -- Lehrman would have been better off staying with Sennett's. John D. Rock, Sr. (Dick Smith) gets fed up with his lazy, do-nothing son, John, Jr. (Raymond Griffith) and sends him out to work on a gang at his train yard. There, he meets Nell (Alice Howell), the sweetheart of the foreman. A romance springs up between John Jr. and Nell, and the angry foreman decides to do away with her. He kidnaps Nell and ties her to some train tracks. But John Jr. finds out about the scheme, gets a racing car and rushes to save her. Meanwhile, the train, driven by the foreman, is blown to bits -- this last shot was done with the obvious help of miniatures.
