What happens

Cameron of the Royal Mounted is a 1921 Canadian silent Western film directed by Henry MacRae and starring Gaston Glass, Irving Cummings and Vivienne Osborne. Part of the tradition of Northerns, it is based on the story Corporal Cameron by Ralph Connor about a young Scottish immigrant who joins the Mounties. Mostly lost, only one-third of the film is held at the National Film Archives at Ottawa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
