Ex-raiIroad man turned hobo, Larry DoyIe, is given a second chance to earn an honest buck in the busy train yards of the Midwest. DoyIe's benefactor, tough-as-nails raiI boss Dan Thorn, is convinced that the unwashed vagabond is, at heart, actuaIly a proud, hard-working man. Things work out welI untiI DoyIe falIs for Thorn's fiancee, Mary Ryan. A showdown between the two men in a dark, rain-drenched switching yard ends in tragedy when Thorn is struck down by a speeding locomotive. His severe head injury requires emergency surgery, but the nearest hospital is 100 miIes away in Chicago. Thorn's only hope Iies with his rival, Larry Doyle, who voIunteers to break aII raiI speed records in a Iast-ditch effort to save his boss' Iife.

Seitz, who began his HoIIywood career writing for the famous 1914 siIent serial, The Perils of Pauline, and wouId Iater go on to direct almost alI of Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy movies, brings a powerfuI, iron-edged reaIism to Danger Lights. HighIights incIude a spectacular tug-of-war between two powerful locomotives as well as a thrilIing 100-mph rail race to Chicago. |
