They break the news to their sweethearts, Jane and Grace, and then try to arrange to get off on the day of the dance. A marble-hearted official turns down their request. However, at Jane's suggestion, the boys decide to take their go-to-meetin' clothes to work with them on the day of the event, thus doing away with the necessity of returning home to dress. It happens that old Grouch Brent, the conductor, and Fogeye, the engineer, have a touch of that tired feeling on the all-important day and therefore take things easy. Furthermore, cows insist on ambling along the track, while occasionally Fogeye stops the train to chat with some acquaintance along the road. When the run finally comes to an end, the boys are hours late. Jane and Grace are inclined to be peevish when Jim and Tom finally appear. The lovers arrive at the dance when the fun is at its height. But once more, luck hands the boys an awful jolt. A wreck on the line causes the railroad officials to send a call-boy to the scene of festivities with instructions to nail the first crew he sees. Of course, he picks out Jim and Tom. Bidding their sweethearts a tearful goodbye, the unfortunates heed duty's call. Two hours later, Jim and Tom, pausing in the back-breaking task of clearing away the wreckage, express their sympathy for the girls whose fun has been spoiled. Fortunately for their peace of mind, Jim and Tom are unable to see Jane and Grace at that moment. For, deeply absorbed in threading the mazes of the tango with two good-looking chaps, the girls have completely forgotten the existence of their sweethearts.
