The Last of the Line is a 1914 American short silent Western film directed by Jay Hunt and featuring Joe Goodboy, Sessue Hayakawa,[1] Tsuru Aoki,[2] Stanley Bigham and Gladys Brockwell in pivotal roles.
Gray Otter is an Indian chief who had high aspirations for his son Tiah, who was sent away from the tribe and educated on the east coast of the U.S. Tiah returns as a drunken womanizer who harasses a woman bathing and who can barely stand up straight.
Gray Otter, meanwhile, makes a pact with the U.S. military that a gold shipment may pass through his territory without injury.
Gray Otter brings the soldiers and general to show them the slaughter and to tell them his story of what happened.
The film ends with Gray Otter dejectedly sitting over his son's grave, despondent that he is now "the last of the line".
