Riders of the Plains (1910)
In presenting "The Riders of the Plains" to the public the Edison Company takes considerable pride because the participants are not make-believe actors. Although the greater part of this film is a story picture, nevertheless the actors are the real things. The Indians are real Indians and the cowboys are real cowboys. The story was suggested by one of the commanding officers of this body of men and carried out under his instructions, as showing what has occurred time and time again in the annals of their life. The entire story deals with horse stealing by the Indians. The Mounted Police are shown on post duty discovering the facts, reporting at Calgary Headquarters, and then a detachment goes out to bring back the guilty redmen, and we may be sure at this point that they will do so, for the Royal Northwest Mounted Police are not allowed to return empty handed. They will follow their prey for hundreds of miles if necessary. Eventually the picture winds up with the capture of the redmen and their being brought to the prison at the Northwest Mounted Police Station at Calgary.
