A group of spectators gathers to watch two men mix flour on a large blanket in a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. One man empties a metal bucket onto the blanket while another man stands near him holding a large sack on his left shoulder. Another man empties his sack into a bucket. Several young boys sit on a pile of sacks in the right midground. The men are mixing the flour to use to cook for the cast and crew of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
