The first scene shows a man and a woman standing on a bluff overlooking the Niagara River at Niagara Falls. The entire area is covered by snow and ice, including large clumps of grass and twigs. Behind them is a battery of 36 high intensity lights aimed at the American Falls. ((In 1907, William D’Arcy Ryan of the General Electric Company of Schenectady, New York designed battery of lights to illuminate the Falls. Comprised of 36 lights, they had the strength of 1,093,815,000 candela and were mounted on the Ontario Power Company access road north of the Ontario Power Generating Station near the base of the gorge.) Below the bluff, the Canadian Ontario Power Generating Station can barely be seen because of heavy mist rising from Niagara Falls. The same man and woman are next seen by an access ramp on Luna Island, where the Niagara Bridal Falls is seen in the foreground. Camera moves to a higher vantage point showing three people on Goat Island with Bridal Falls immediately behind them and the American Falls beyond. Goat and Luna Island are completely snow-covered. Glimpse of a woman standing on the bluff shown at the film start. Views of the boat, "Maid of the Mist," ice-bound at the base of the falls.
Film opens concentrating on sunset viewed as the sun drops below the horizon with hills surrounding. Scene shifts to a river and a steam excursion boat plying its way along the river toward the camera. The boat blows its whistle emiting an extended burst of steam into the air.
