This shocking and controversial potboiler set in antebellum Louisiana chronicles the decline and fall of the slave-breeding Maxwell family, headed by dictatorial patriarch Warren (James Mason). Determined to have another heir, Warren persuades his randy son (Perry King) to wed a pouty Southern belle (Susan George) whose vengeance-fueled sexual encounters with a slave (Ken Norton) lead to disastrous consequences.
