L.B. Jones, the richest black man in his county of Tennessee, is divorcing his wife for infidelity with a white policeman. Taking a stand against racism, he is greeted with a hostile bunch of Southern bigots and other various stereotypes. Justice runs red in the deep South in this powerful drama. Steve Mundine is a young lawyer who, shortly after marrying his sweetheart Nella, takes a position with a law firm in a small Southern town, run by his uncle Oman Hedgepath. L.B. Jones is a well-to-do African-American funeral director who comes to Hedgepath's firm in search of legal representation. Jones wishes to divorce his wife Emma, but his grounds make the case a hot potato - Jones has learned Emma has been having an affair with Willie Joe Worth, a white police officer who is the father of Emma's unborn child. Worth does not want his affair dragged into a court of law, so he and his fellow officer Stanley Bumpas violently take matters into their own hands. (Cinemax)
