Black intellectual and artist Raymond St. Jacques is framed for murder in the racist south. He escapes from prison and is picked up by a wealthy white man (Kevin McCarthy) who brings him to his mansion. McCarthy tries to force him to kill his wife, but St. Jacques manages to get away. On the run again, he has numerous flashbacks to his arrest, trial and relationship with nightclub singer Barbara McNair. He finds the man responsible for the murder and tries to prove his innocence. Very similar to the previous year's In the Heat of the Night, but Raymond St. Jacques is no Sidney Poitier.
