An episodic meditation on life and politics in a small Kentucky town still marked in 1890 by memories of the Civil War. Will Rogers loosely inhabits the role of Judge Priest who defies class and racial barriers and shames the community into an awareness of its intolerance. This portrayal of an imperfect but good rural communty is lent a certain depth by nostalgia for a lost pre-Civil War past. Populist sentiment prevails over the due processes of law.
In English or Spanish; with optional Spanish subtitles.
