Oscar Micheaux
The Homesteader
The story of a Black pioneer's life as a South Dakota rancher. Out of loneliness, he marries the daughter of a vain Black clergyman, forsaking his true love, a Scottish woman, to avoid social stigma and trouble with the law. The marriage sours owing to interference by the hostile father-in-law. The rancher's wife goes insane and kills her father and herself. The authorities arrest the pioneer for both murders, but his first love hires detectives who prove his innocence.
