- "The Pacific and Southern Railroad engages in corrupt legislation to rob the farmers of their savings from the wheat crops. A grim harvest of death and disillusionment, and financial and moral ruin is yielded." ***"Deals with the war between the wheat grower and the railroad trust." ***When the railroad owners try to rob the farmers of their crops, one farmer compromises his beliefs and suffers in the late 19th century." *** "Based on an actual violent dispute in California's Great Central Valley, 'The Octopus' (1901) depicts the clash between classic opposing interests of the Progressive Era -- the farmers and the land-hungry railroads that distributed their wheat."
