Griff in den Staub (1949)
Lucas Beauchamp ist der Nachkomme eines afroamerikanischen Sklaven, der sich freigekauft hat. Außerdem hat Lucas von seinem Vater ein kleines Stück Land geerbt. In den Augen der rassistischen Weißen ist der stolze schwarze Farmer eine permanente Provokation. Als Lucas des Mordes an einem Weißen verdächtigt und verhaftet wird, versammelt sich vor dem Gefängnis schnell der Lynchmob. Die Chancen auf einen fairen Prozess stehen hier im Süden denkbar schlecht. Crawford Gowrie, der wütende Bruder des Ermordeten, lässt sich bereits einen Benzinkanister füllen, mit dem er das Gefängnis in Brand stecken will: Im Süden ist dies ein mörderischer Brauch.....
