Over Riley's objections, Granddad retells the story of the boys' great-great-great-great-grandfather, Catcher Freeman. According to Granddad, it all began on the plantation of Confederate Colonel George Lynchwater, whose slaves believed that Catcher Freeman, a former slave who led an army of rebellion, was going to kill their master and secure their freedom. Not believing any of it, a slave named Tobias was planning to gain his freedom with a screenplay he was sure Lynchwater would produce, which would allow him to marry a beautiful slave named Thelma. Impatient to be free, Thelma tried to escape on her own, only to be run down and caught. But when she was rescued by Catcher, it was love at first sight and she agreed to help his brigade carry out an assault on the plantation. Although betrayed by Tobias, Catcher freed the slaves and married Thelma. However, Uncle Ruckus claims that the true story is very different from Granddad's.
