Description

Summary
  • The oil trust comes to Oily John's office for help. His daughter is tied to the railroad tracks and a train is coming. Oily John tells the oil trust not to cut the ropes, because they are worth money, but rather to untie her. Oily John breaks the train track instead, so that the train will derail. The oil trust gets his daughter untied and the train derails before it arrives. The daughter thanks Oily John.
