The Midnight Express

A banker receives a telegram from one of his agents announcing the discovery of a valuable mining claim. He is asked to come to the place at once with money to satisfy claimants. His bookkeeper and cashier are two gay boys and grasp the contents of the telegram and immediately determine to possess the money if possible. In disguise they follow their employer to the station and into the sleeper. The unsuspecting banker retires to an upper berth while they have the lower, and waiting for a favorable opportunity, which finally comes, they etherize their employer, secure the money and leap from the flying train. Detectives and police are wired for and await the stopping of the train at a station and everybody is searched, but nothing is found. The cashier buys jewels and other presents for his sweetheart, but she being a poor, innocent girl, will not accept them, fearing he may not have acquired them honestly. Subsequently he confesses all to his employer and returns his share of the money and is forgiven. The bookkeeper has no such compunctions and drifts to the lowest dives only to meet with kicks and cuffs and finally an ignoble death.
