This RKO Sportscope short is about a riding club in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They model themselves on the Bengal Lancers, to the extent that they play at lancing rings and wearing outfits that suggests the dress uniform of the Anglo-Indian unit, complete with wide-brimmed pith helmets. While the minimum age is 8, there's a small girl called Heather, aged 6, who wants to be a Lancer.
The second half of the short concerns the groups appearance at a celebration in Annapolis; not the American port, but the senior city in Nova Scotia. It's well-shot by Douglas Sinclair, a cameraman and director who specialized in these open-air shorts.
The RKO Sportscope shorts would not last much longer. The major studios were cutting down on their unprofitable shorts. Efforts like this would find a more welcome home on television.
