Summary
"Adah, a negro woman, has an affair with Thorne, a white man, much to the dismay of some of the predjudiced townfolk and Thorne's wife, Astrid. Adah attempts a reconciliation with her man, Pete, but eventually leave him and the town. Meanwhile, Astrid goes mad and cuts Thorne's face and arm with a knife, but then mysteriously dies. Thorne is tried but acquitted. Because of the events, the mayor sends Pete a letter asking him to leave town for the good of all concerned. Paul Robeson is Pete."--Container
