THE HAZARDS OF HELEN: EPISODE13, THE ESCAPE ON THE FAST FREIGHT

Directed by Leo D. Maloney

1915 / 13min

Two tramps hold up small-town Ferndale's railway station night operator Helen, lock her in a closet, and escape. Later, standing on a bridge over the freight yards, Helen sees the two bandits aboard an outgoing freight and drops onto the roof of the car from above as it crosses underneath. A chase along the roofs of the speeding cars ensues.
