Jim the Penman is a 1915 silent film crime drama produced by the Famous Players Film Company and released through Paramount Pictures. This film is the first movie of the famous stage mystery. The film was directed by Edwin S. Porter and starred stage actor John B. Mason, in his debut film, keeping in line with Adolph Zukor's efforts to recruit famous stage actors for films. Co-starring with Mason was young up and coming favorite Harold Lockwood. Mason had played the part on the stage in the 1910 season on Broadway. Some sources erroneously credit this film as being shot in a stereoscopic format, but the film was shot in the conventional 2D format. Stereoscopic tests films were shot by Porter (not for use in the film) using the sets and actors. This film is lost.

The film opens with two bandits breaking into a railroad telegraph office, where they force the operator at gunpoint to have a train stopped and to transmit orders for the engineer orders to fill the locomotive's tender at the station's water tank. They then knock operator out and tie him up. As the train stops it is boarded by the bandits—​now four. Two bandits enter an express car, kill a messenger and open a box of valuables with dynamite; the others kill the fireman and force the engineer to halt the train and disconnect the locomotive. The bandits then force the passengers off the train and rifle them for their belongings. One passenger tries to escape, but is instantly shot down. Carrying their loot, the bandits escape in the locomotive, later stopping in a valley where their horses had been left.
