Casey Jones, un conducteur de train à vapeur, doit s'assurer de la bonne livraison du courrier par le rail... Plusieurs problèmes surviennent sur le trajet, tels qu'une inondation consécutive à une tempête (on voit le train cheminer sous l'eau comme un sous-marin), un pont dynamité par un fou (le train s'arrache cependant du fond du canyon en grimpant à la verticale), l'archétypique demoiselle-en-détresse ligotée sur la voie par un assassin, des bandits (que Casey assomme et balance par dessus bord en usant de sa pelle à charbon comme un chasse-mouches) et une vache sur la voie. À toute vitesse, mettant les roues et les rails en fusion, rivetant les fuites de la chaudière debout sur les bielles en plein mouvement, Casey parvient à rejoindre sa destination avec une locomotive en grande partie détruite mais tenant le sac postal.
