Johnnie loves his train (The General) and Annabelle. When
civil war breaks out, he is turned down for service because
he's more valuable as an engineer. Annabelle thinks he's
a coward.
Union spies capture The General with Annabelle on board.
Johnnie to the rescue.
The superb cinematography stunningly depicts Buster Keaton
indulging in increasingly impressive train-based acrobatics.
This is Keaton at his best, with this film being hailed
as the greatest screen comedy ever made.
