An overheated bearing causes Grouch to halt his engine in front of Mrs. Manson's home. The widow's son, Bobby, runs out to watch the proceedings. Grouch injures his hand and Bobby touches the man's heart, when he offers his tiny handkerchief as a bandage. A friendship springs up between the two. Grouch invariably waves a greeting to the boy when his train passes the Manson cottage. Shortly afterwards Grouch is promoted to a passenger run. With promotion comes news which informs him that Bobby is seriously ill and calls for him continually. Thought of the lad causes Grouch to halt his train in front of Bobby's home. Deaf to the amazed protests of the train crew and passengers Grouch hastens to the boy's bedside. His presence soothes the lad and saves his life. It costs Grouch his run, however, until the master mechanic, whose son is of Bobby's age, hears of the incident. And Grouch, who receives a message which he believes contains word of his dismissal, learns instead that he has been reinstated. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
