The vintage appeal of The Game of Three to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
Mazie King, an adventuress, through the kindly patronage of Mr. Niel, a society man, is enabled to be a guest at an anniversary reception. Taking advantage of the opportunity she lays her plans to get away with some valuable jewels. Jim O'Bryan, the tool, enters stealthily by way of a side window. He then waylays one of the house butlers and manages to change clothes with him, after which it is easy to get about unrecognized. In the guise of a butler and under the direction of Mazie Jim finally gets possession of the jewels. In making his escape from the house he is discovered by Detective O'Bryan and is wounded. Arriving at the rendezvous, where his partner in crime is waiting, they undertake to divide the spoils, but an argument arises and the wounded crook is forcibly ejected, minus the spoils, from the shack. Ill from loss of blood he manages to reach the home of Tom and Molly Ryan, where he seeks protection, and is finally hidden in a clothes closet. In the meantime the detective arrives at the home of Tom, and although they are innocent, he arrests them. The detectives then return to the river front and finally locate the shack, but Travis, another crook, and Mazie manage to escape and get away on a steam launch, they took without the owner's permission. The detective follows on a river tug, finally overtaking and capturing the pair. At the police court, Tom and Molly, the innocent, and Travis and Mazie, the guilty, are brought face to face, but no evidence is available against Travis and Mazie, when suddenly Tim O'Bryan staggers in and acknowledges his part of the robbery at the same time accusing Travis and Mazie and clearing Tom and Molly of the charge. The finale is very effective, especially when Detective O'Bryan learns it was his own son whom he had wounded and was the actual thief.

This fascinating region was set apart as a Government Reservation, to be known as Yellowstone Park, in 1S72. The park proper is about 62 miles long, from north to south, and 54 miles wide. While the tourist may reach the park entrance by rail, it has been decreed by Uncle Sam that beyond the Great Lava Arch Gateway the iron horse shall not trespass. So here leaving the pathway of steel we take our place on one of the six-horse coaches that run from Gardiner up to Mammoth Hot Springs. Coaching, Troops, Morris Basin, Great Fountain, Pack mules, Riverside Geyser, Old Faithful, Deer and Bear, Upper Falls, Canyon, Field Glasses. Standing on a balcony at Artist's Point we take up the field glass to have a tele-photo panorama of these weird walls with their clinging pine trees. We look down the Great Gorge. On either side walls of exquisite color rise with here and there pinnacle-like great church spires. Above our heads fly eagles who build their nests and raise their young on the top of these lofty peaks. The scene is a powerful one and beyond words, but the Great Falls add force and quality of action which tempers and dignities the whole scene. This enormous volume of water that looks like a curtain of lace, tumbles over a cliff of volcanic rock 310 feet. Here the traveler finds himself spellbound, held by the pure beauty of the scene. In turning away he pauses to marvel at the wonders of nature and the beauties of our great national playground.
