After gangster Mulligan's cars colon, fleeing northern justice, finds a hiding place in Alabama, spoiled, naive daughter Grace refuses to travel on after seeing the Mandalay cotton plantation being run under slavery rules, called Mam's law, inclusive flogging. She keeps half of dad's goons as guard to force the dying matriarch-owner's heirs, which she shamelessly dispossess es and reduces to 'staff', to taste destitution under absurd, gun-imposed contracts. The 'nicker slaves' are made free partners, supposed to vote progress after lessons from Grace. But almost all her democracy-pupils prove fickle, dumb and selfish, except old Willem.

By the time dad returns to pick her up or abandon her for good, she's the one who learned and changed most. Written by KGF Vissers
