Synopsis

In this adventure set in the Alberta Badlands of 1904, ex-Mountie Range Ryder and his sidekick, the Calgary Kid, must battle Mayor Morgan of Steveville who intends to crown himself Emperor of Alberta instead of allowing Alberta's entry into Confederation. Morgan also wants Susan Canfield, the Calgary Kid's mother, as his Empress but she wants no part of his evil plan. The film is presented in three "reels": Trouble on the Tracks, in which four trains have been lost, cutting off Steveville and causing Range Ryder and the Calgary Kid to investigate; Blasts From the Past, in which Morgan and his henchman Stratton plan to blow up the bridge as Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier's train crosses; and Renegade Roundup, which finds Range Ryder and the Calgary Kid riding tame dinosaurs to battle Morgan's army and other dinosaurs unearthed by the dynamite blast.
