Synopsis
1832 New Orleans. A New Yorker, Caleb (Tim Kincaid, BREEDERS, EL PASO WRECKING CORP), visits his aunt in the Big Easy. Caleb also encounters Caesar DuPree (George Lupo), a powerful man who offers to put his Black Mandingo Warrior (Bill McGhee, DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT) up for gamble. Caleb loses the bet, only to land a job teaching a beautiful female quadroon (Kathrine McKee) who just so happens to be DuPree's #1 woman. A quadroon is 3/4 white, 1/4 black, and all women for pleasure! A tangled web of lust and deceit leads to southern vengeance. Actor Robert Priest (DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK) co-stars in this unpleasant view of how people once lived in the South.
