The Calgary Stampede (Silent)

In the heart of the Canadian Northwest on the government reservation of Wainright Park, amongst the mighty buffalo and majestic elk, Cowboy Dan Malloy has fallen in love with Marie La Farge. However Marie's father, the Deputy Game Warden, won't allow his daughter to marry an "Irish cow-puncher" so Dan sets out to confornt her father, unaware of the vengeful schemes of Fred Burgess, a poacher La Farge sent to prison.

Hoot Gibson shows off his riding skills in this Western -- in this case, western Canada, where it was shot. Dan Malloy (Gibson) is a champion Roman rider, and, while traveling through Canada, he falls in love with Marie LeFarge (Virginia Brown Faire). Her father (Clark Comstock), however, refuses to give the couple his blessings. Fred Burgess (Jim Corey), a poacher recently released from prison, murders Marie's father. Neenah, Marie's Native American maid (Ynez Seabury), hides Burgess and Malloy is accused of the crime. He flees and finds work at the Bar-O ranch. The mounted police persist in searching for him, but they are unable to track him down. Malloy is compelled to enter the annual Calgary Stampede when his boss' best rider is hurt. He enters the Roman race and wins (the sight of Gibson standing on two galloping horses is truly impressive). M.P. Callahan (Philo McCullough) finally arrests him, but Neenah, who has been betrayed by Burgess, reveals the identity of the real killer and Malloy is freed.
