When he takes her home he discovers that she has twin sisters and that her mother is very ill with consumption. The doctor tells the conductor that if Mrs. Smith could go to the mountains there would be some hope of her recovery. Not long after, the superintendent of the road gives the old conductor a banquet to celebrate his 25th year in the company's employ. The men call on him for a speech. He asks to be excused for a few minutes, and returns with the twins and Helen. Then he tells the men about the children's mother and appeals to them for help. A generous collection is taken up, and two days later Conductor 786 puts the Smith family on board the Adirondack Express. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
