Heaven Will Protect a Woiking Goil

In this parody of early film melodramas, country girl Nell travels to the heartless city to find her drunken father. While there, she falls into the clutches of a mustache-twirling villain. When she rejects his advances, he and a crooked cop chase her down and tie her to the railroad tracks as a train speedily approaches.
