Plot

Riding all across Canada to compete in rodeo events, Dan Malloy (Gibson) enters the big one, the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta and wins with a spectacular "Roman" style ride, standing on two galloping horses at the same time. Jean La Farge (Faunce), the father of the lovely Marie (Faire), does not like Marie's new choice of companion, so when the father ends up dead, Dan is suspected and arrested.
