Bogey is passed over for a promotion at his factory. He joins the "Black Legion" as a way to get back at the "foreigner" who got it. His quiet, suburban home life soon takes a back seat to his new friends. He spends his nights getting drunk, burning houses and flogging "foreigners". One night he accidentally kills his best friend. He goes to trial, but his Legion friends can get him out of the jam. Will he take their help or do the right thing? A thinly veiled critique of the KKK, melodramatic but effective, and sadly still relevant today.
