Based on the Zane Grey novel of the same name, "Riders of the Purple Sage" relates a story whose setting is Utah in the early days of the Mormon settlement, and gives an illuminating insight into the practices of some of the former leaders of that sect.
The play starts with the abduction of a girl by a powerful dignitary of the Mormon cult, and tells a thrilling story of a year's long hunt by her brother for the man who wronged her. The extent of the power of the elders of the church over their followers is startlingly revealed, and to students of American history the picture will prove an amazing narrative of a factor in the great West's growth that is not generally known.
