A black war hero returns to his hometown in the South and is
welcomed by the white family in which he was employed. All
would have gone well if it were not that one of the women of
the family has fallen deeply in love with him
On this fundamental basis, the authors show how the hero is overwhelmed by the prejudice that keeps him from being treated not only as a hero but as a man
Though the play is, of course, a plea for decency and justice, it is over and above this an exciting, suspenseful and holding story
A successful and exciting modern drama. A deeply moving play, dealing with racial prejudice
