A large group of men on horseback gathers to wait for a parade in honor of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show to begin. The men are members of "Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World." The group includes American cowboys and Russian Cossacks. They are stopped along a dirt road bordered by a large, stone wall. A large building, possibly a factory, is in the distance.
