Greatest Silent Stunt Sequence

In the greatest silent comedy stunt sequence, the hero commandeers a car to chase after his girlfriend trapped aboard a train filled with villains. The hero hangs between the car and the train until another train comes along on an adjacent track to obliterate the car. The hero climbs on the top of the train and is chased by several thugs. The thugs are propelled into a river by a water gushing from a spigot. The hero uncouples the caboose from the rest of the train but becomes separated from his girlfriend. He places a board between the two parallel train cars and tries to crawl back to his girlfriend, but he falls off the board and tumbles down a hill, only to fall back on top of the caboose. Finally reunited with his girlfriend, they stop abruptly at the end of the track and are propelled into a haystack. Unsurpassed, hold your breath thrills.
