What happens

With the Mounted Police is a 1912 American silent short romantic thriller film written by Lloyd Lonergan. The films stars William Garwood as a Mounted Police Officer and Mignon Anderson his sweetheart. Notes one historian, "she was famed for doing her own stunt work. Among her cinematic feats was a daring rescue filmed on the Bronx River when... she leapt into the water to rescue her hapless beau, who had gotten himself bound and gagged and tossed into the river by the bad guys."
