Apparently all is lost when Helen comes to the edge of the precipice, but a huge four hundred foot chute that has been built as a delivery short cut down the mountain side to the railroad tracks offers a hazardous chance. Leaping on the little truck Helen starts the perilous slide down the chute just as her pursuers overtake her. Halfway down the slide she is startled by the sight of the express speeding along the tracks below, and certain death under the wheels of the train stares at her. But she clings to the truck, and as the bottom of the slide is reached hurls herself into the air, barely clearing the top of the freight train, and landing in a huddled heap on the far bank.
