William S. Hart's last western is about the opening of the Cherokee strip in Oklahoma. A highlight is the land-rush scene, one of the great spectacles in silent films. Contains a music track and a special introduction by Hart himself, which turned out to be the actor's only speaking role.

Depicting the historical opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1889, this classic Western tells the tale of cattle, love, marriage, settlers and suspicious schemes.

"Tumbleweeds" is a silent film, with the exception of a spoken introduction by the film's star, William S. Hart.
