A home movie featuring footage taken in Oklahoma during the middle and late 1920s by Solomon Sir Jones. It is the seventh in a collection of nine films and consists of a single reel of silent 16mm black-and-white acetate film. The film begins with footage from a gas station. The camera pans around the intersection in a commercial district with cars passing by in front of the camera. The next scene shows a man and a woman come out of a house and get into a car. Then the man and woman are seen in a field with cows. Then there is footage of two men in a cotton field. The woman is shown feeding chickens. The exteriors of two buildings are shown, and one of them is possibly the Grand Lodge of the Knights and Pythias.
