The idyllic life on a Louisiana plantation suddenly ends when the kindly master is killed by horses during a raucous harvest celebration by his slaves. The new executor of the estate wastes no time in planning to sell off the slaves to line his own pockets. It is up to the orphaned young son of the family to save them. Modern political correctness would condemn this, but it is a harmless morality story, with a lively soundtrack ranging from the aforementioned bacchanalian celebrations to soulful spirituals.
