Cartoon Synopsis:

A small boy is playing with his toy trains in the yard, guarded by his faithful dog, who is tied to a nearby tree. He's obviously mad for trains, and when a real train goes by outside, he runs away to climb aboard. The frantic dog breaks his rope to give chase. The little boy makes his way alarmingly to the engine, where he starts the train. The gauges turn into taunting, scary faces which shriek at the boy to "Play Safe!" As the train hurtles towards a collision with another engine, the valiant dog runs faster and faster. The moments of greatest suspense are played out in a really fabulous Fleischer 3-D model/animation sequence. At the last possible moment, the dog rescues the boy before the trains crash.
