- Nerve lands "Rainbow" Riley a job as cub reporter on the Louisville Ledger. His first big assignment is to cover a feud in the Kentucky mountains between the Ripper and White clans. Thinking that the assignment is in the nature of a vacation, "Rainbow" provides himself with athletic equipment. Arrived at the scene of the hostilities, "Rainbow" is forced to declare his ability to use a boomerang as a weapon of defense instead of a sawed-off shotgun. Because "Rainbow" is in love with Alice Ripper, the village belle and sweetheart of Tilden McFields, known as the "killer" of the Ripper clan, he antagonizes the Rippers. Conversely because he cannot fall in love with Becky White, who loves him, he incurs the enmity of the White faction. Both sides set out to exterminate him. He elopes with Alice, sending a telegram to his newspaper stating that there is unprecedented danger in the mountains. The lovers, however, are captured by McFields, who releases "Rainbow" upon the girl's promise to renounce him. Later "Rainbow" rescues Alice by taking a precarious swing across a deep ravine on the end of a cable wire. Trapped by enraged feudists of both sides, "Rainbow" keeps them temporarily at bay by giving them a fusillade of golf, tennis and base-balls. Meanwhile the telegram telling of the unprecedented danger has been interpreted to read "president in danger," and the militia, and the air force hasten to the scene succoring "Rainbow" and Alice in the very nick of time. "Rainbow" the cub, returns to his paper not only with the biggest scoop of the feud that the paper has ever had, but also with the adorable Alice.

- "Taken at Fort Meyer, Va. Each cavalryman is seen standing astride of three spirited horses, which gallop forward and jump high hurdles. Very exciting."
- "Showing Troop A, U.S. Cavalry, Fort Meyer, Va. They are first seen coming round a bend of the road, half a mile distant, and seem to be riding harder and harder as they approach. Flashing helmets, sabres and spurs makes this a very brilliant spectacle."
- Golden haired little Buster, a sturdy, manly lad of eight, is mascot of troop "C," 15th Cavalry. The men all idolize Buster and vie with one another in winning his affection. Among Buster's most cherished possessions is an old donkey, "Jennie," which has been given by the men, and a little two-wheeled cart. Driving through the post one day Buster comes across a fair haired little maiden, whose name is May, who accompanied by her uncle, an officer, is out for a stroll. Buster is much impressed with the little girl, and his interest is apparently reciprocated. Later at guard mount they again meet and he promises to show her his donkey. Buster gallantly invites his lady fair for a ride. Immensely interested they drive farther away from the post than safety justifies and are captured by a prowling band of Indians. Taken by the Indians into their village the children are thrust into a wigwam for the night. Buster, however, manages to escape under the cover of darkness, mounting one of the Indian ponies, and hastens back to the post for aid. Troop "C" responds to the appeal of their mascot and with Buster at their head are soon on their way to the rescue. They quickly reach the Indian village, a thrilling fight ensues, which results in victory for the troop and the rescue of Buster's little friend.
- Another interesting subject taken at Fort Myer, Va. The rider in this picture is handling two spirited cavalry horses, seated in the saddle of one and leading the other. As he nears the hurdle, he jumps to the ground, running beside his own mount until both horses rise to make the hurdle jump, when he vaults over the back of the horse he has formerly ridden, gracefully alighting in the saddle of the horse he has been leading. This is regarded by military men as an extremely difficult feat.
- We have seen daring specimens of horsemanship by the Cossacks and riders of other nationalities, but so far as we know this is the first time that such feats, exhibited by a regular troop of cavalry of the United States Army, have been thrown upon the canvas. It was only through the combination of fortuitous circumstances that we were able to get the picture, and we feel that the trade will share with us our gratification at the result. Pictures portraying scenes in the daily routine of Uncle Sam's boys have an unfailing attraction for the public. Particularly is this true of cavalry pictures, the action of which is necessarily rapid and exciting, and keeps the interest of an audience keyed up to a high pitch at all times while the reel is being run. Troop "B," 15th United States Cavalry has a national reputation for daring horsemanship, and the picture shows them in all of the difficult feats they accomplish. The work is all done so smoothly that it looks easy, but we can well believe that it is accomplished only after weeks and months of most arduous practice, which is not unattended with danger. The pictures also are a testimonial to the high moral standard of the U.S. Army at the present time, for it is incredible that these feats, requiring as they do acrobatic skill and dexterity of a high order, could be performed by men whose mode of living is not clean and sober.
