A Western railroad man arrives at the Swift home with a desperate offer: the Hendrickton and Pas Alos line needs an electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute through the Pas Alos Range, or its stock will be worthless. Young Tom takes up the challenge in his private workshop, while rivals and saboteurs do their best to see that his engine never reaches the rails.
