CAST— David Brian, Claude Jarman, Jr., Juano Hernandez, Porter Hall, Elizabeth Patterson

     Engrossing dramatic mystery involving the case of a black man (played by Juano Hernandez) accused of mercilessly killing a white man. When the news reaches young Claude Jarman, Jr. he decides to make it his mission to free Hernandez. He persuades his lawyer uncle to take the case, despite uncle’s qualms. Jarman involves friends young and old in his crusade to discover the truth behind the murder. Meanwhile, the victim’s brother rallies the entire county into forming a lynch mob and it’s only a matter of time before they strike. Believable characterizations highlight this tale of the Deep South, which should satisfy classic film buffs.
