Zusammenfassung:Hoot Gibson was a real-life rodeo rider, a big name on the circuit, before he moved into acting. He started as a stuntman in Hollywood but soon scored leading roles and eventually became a big star. During the silent era, he was one of the biggest names in the western genre in fact, just behind Tom Mix (another name largely lost to time). "The Calgary Stampede" is a fine example of Gibson's work back then. The film sees the actor play Dan Malloy, a champion "Roman" horse racer who's moved to Canada to seek adventure. Instead, he finds love in the shape of ​​Marie LaFarge (Virginia Brown Faire). Unfortunately, Marie's father Jean (Pierre Faunce) isn't too keen on the pairing, likely due to Malloy's Irish heritage, and forbids them from seeing each other. When Jean is killed by Fred Burgess (Jim Corey), a vengeful convict who was put away due to a charge made by Jean, all fingers instead point to Malloy, who was arguing with his sweetheart's father at the time of his murder. Unable to clear his name, particularly after Burgess' girlfriend Nennah (Ynez Seabury) claims she saw Malloy do it, the rider is forced to run away and take on an assumed identity.
