Duke Edwards Defies Dynamite In Kalispell Rodeo Ride
Duke Edwards, a New York adventurer, joins a western show in Kalispell Montana in 1912. Despite initial incapacity to ride, he bluffs into a job, confronts the bucking mare Dynamite, and survives a dramatic fall into a bandstand ending in hospital. He remains with the outfit for three years before moving to film work. The tale ends with his rule of success: first bluff, then make it good.
