Description

A slave owner states that he has wenches in his basement, as an option for the nights entertainment. A character's wife is violently assaulted by three white men. A black woman is groped by a man who praises ‘black meat’. That same woman is then requested by a white man for the night. Black men are threatened with lynching if they do not facilitate the request. The rape is not on-screen, but the woman is visibly distraught afterwards. A white man is killed and a small person, possibly a child, is rescued from his bed.
