Summary

British Pathe synopsis: United States of America. Introductory intertitle reads: "Here’s a Texas young lady whose skill with a rope rivals her brothers." L/S of a woman riding a horse towards the camera with her two brothers bringing up the rear. They are in a prairie landscape. The woman twirls a lasso as she rides along. L/S of the woman, now standing on the ground whipping the lasso around. One of the brothers rides towards her and she lassos his steed! "How’s this - for a girl?" The girl does some stunts with the lasso. She stands inside the circle of rope spinning it around her body, she then lies down still lassoing, then stands up again - without getting in a tangle. Film ends with a C/U of the girl standing with her horse.
