This is a true story about the daring Civil War raid led by General Anderson, a Northern Spy who penetrated Southern lines to steal a locomotive and destroy communications. The original film ran for 8 reels, 7 of which were devoted to the locomotive chase. The movie is the story of two locomotives "The Texas" and "The General".

This film is a classic and considered a masterpiece of screen achievement. This is considered one of Buster Keaton's finest films ever.
