This title is licensed for public performance by Swank Motion Pictures, Inc. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him -- except the town's most distinguished citizen.
