The Trapping of 'Peeler' White

Dick Benton is making a game attempt to start life all over again, after escaping from prison where he was confined for a crime he did not commit. Peeler White, who was really guilty, and who aided Benton to escape without telling the reason for his interest, stumbles across the young man who is now an express messenger. Peeler threatens to disclose his knowledge unless Benton aids him in a fake hold-up. The young man pretends to be a willing victim, but really warns the railroad detectives and Peeler and his companion find themselves in a trap on the train the following day.
