Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? “Lonesome Luke” is a baggage smasher at the terminal of a railroad. He got the job by answering a newspaper ad which announced the work to be “light and the pay good.” But many and arduous are the duties which he is required to perform. Large and small trunks, livestock, bundles, boxes and all sorts of stuff comes under his care and he gets away with it fairly well. Yes, until a large billy goat of the long horn species comes his way. This fellow, with his well-developed tendency to buck anything and anybody in his path, leads Luke a merry chase. He is thrown about hither and yon, but finally conquers him. Next, however, comes a large box of dynamite which Luke is supposed to ship. The thing blows up and our hero is wafted several miles by the force of the explosion. The last we see of him is when he lands on the top rung of a friendly telegraph pole.
