A telegraph operator and his wife in a small town on the Pacific Railroad are imprisoned by thieves who have rolled a rock onto the line of an express train to wreck it and rob the gold it carries. The wife escapes and rides through a storm to the next town to give the alarm. She arrives back on a train filled with police. Her reward - a silver tea service! (PB)
