Movie overview and plot by Anagha Shashank
Movie in-short: After the lynching death of his black brother in Memphis, a light-skinned African-American, heads to a small Southern town, where he draws the attention of a heiress, and learns that the place is as racist as his hometown.
Movie story-line: Joe Grant, a light-skinned African American, heads to a small Southern town to investigate the lynching death of his brother. He draws the attention of a gorgeous heiress whom he learns may have been involved in the killing.
Movie synopsis: In the American South, light-skinned Afro-American Joe Grant leaves Memphis and moves to a small town after his 18-year-old brother Johnny is brutally lynched for attempting to marry a white woman. Joe's skin is so light that he is able to pass himself off as Caucasian and find work in a local bookstore. To get revenge on white society, Joe seduces rich young white girl Lizbeth Shannon, and plots her death. Meanwhile, Joe discovers that the bookstore where he works is a front for an extortion ring, and the town's intolerant men make his life miserable. They wish to kill him, out of racism and jealousy, because the women are attracted by Joe's masculine charms. As time goes by, Joe falls in love with Lizbeth. She loves him back, but her family is forcing her to marry a ruthless man called Stan Walker, who practically owns the town. When Joe's employer reveals that Joe is of African descent, Lizbeth suggests they run away together. After Joe is beaten by Stan's henchmen and shot by Lizbeth's sister, the pair manages to run away. Stan organizes a posse, planning to accuse Joe of abducting Lizbeth with intent to rape her. Joe's family history is about to repeat itself: tragedy ensues just as the fugitive lovers are about to cross the Mason-Dixon Line.
