Sinopsis

Micheaux coloca en el centro de su melodrama a una mulata que sufre el linchamiento de su familia y está a punto de ser violada por un terrateniente sureño. En realidad, la narrativa principal se ocupa de los esfuerzos de la protagonista, Sylvia, por encontrar financiación en Boston para la escuela sureña en la que trabaja. Aparte de los amoríos varios, y de una subtrama gangsteril, el núcleo de la película es el tema racial.
