Two robbers break into a telegraph office at a train station, forcing the telegraph operator to send a signal to the train, and then binding the operator. As the train approaches, the robbers secretly board the train. Subsequently, the robbers stop the train, force all the passengers off, and rob them of their money. After the heist, the four robbers escape to the prairie to divide the loot. Meanwhile, a young girl saves the telegraph operator, who promptly goes to the police station to report the incident. A group of police starts to pursue the robbers, leading to a fierce shootout on the prairie, and eventually, all four robbers are shot dead.
