The Watertank Plot Filming Locations

Fearing lest Cameron's horse beat the pony he has plunged on, Tony Dorgan orders one of his men to bribe the stableman to drug the animal. Saratoga Johnny tries to carry out Tony's order, but receives a beating at the hands of the irate Cameron employee. Learning that the Cameron stable is being shipped to the track on the special leaving Grove City, Dorgan and his pals do a little detective work and thus find that the train will stop at Lone Point for water. It thereupon occurs to the crooks that by drugging the water in the tank, their plan to eliminate the Cameron horse would be accomplished. Helen, fishing from the trestle, sees the men approach and discovers their purpose. The men discover her presence. Pressed for time, Tony orders his pals to capture the girl while he sets about drugging the water. Helen evades capture, however, by leaping into the river and then swimming to shore. By this time, Tony has climbed up the ladder and entered the partly-filled tank. Helen, who follows him, finds herself staring into the muzzle of his pistol. The special stops and takes water aboard. Watching her chance, Helen knocks her captor off the ladder and into the water and makes her escape. The train is just pulling away when the daring girl climbs to the edge of the tank. Taking a desperate chance, she leaps, and lands aboard the last car. The girl succeeds in warning Cameron of his horse's peril in the nick of time. The crooks are pursued. In their effort to get away, the men try to make a crossing ahead of the train. A smashup occurs in which the evil-doers are all slain.
