The boy sees Vance attempting to flirt with the girl and promptly knocks the scoundrel down. Later, Vance learns that the telephone officials are about to send a large sum of money out of town by special messenger. Securing the aid of Bud Haley, his pal, Vance plans to get possession of the money. The wire chief is atop of a pole on the outskirts of a village when he sees Vance and Haley leap out of the shrubbery on the side of the road and hold up the auto containing the messenger. The crooks knock the man unconscious and tumble him into the road. Leaping into the machine, the men dash away. Cutting into the line, Jack sends word of what has transpired. Descending to the ground, the wire chief mounts his motorcycle and goes in pursuit of the highwaymen. A short cut brings him ahead of the thieves and he holds them up at the point of a revolver. Securing the money stolen from the messenger, Jack mounts his machine and speeds away. Wild with rage, Vance and Haley give chase. An auto containing the sheriff and his posse have been sent to the scene of the holdup. Jack meets the men and a trap is arranged for the thieves. A hail of bullets greets Vance and Haley. The men are captured after a desperate pistol duel. In recognition of his work in bringing about the capture of the crooks, Jack is made manager of one of the company's branch offices.
