"You have a white man in there and that concerns the town."
Small town America and a young black girl goes missing. Racial tension rises as people start to believe she has been taken by a white man. Not knowing that the child has in fact fallen down a well, the population start to believe that Claude Packard (Harry Morgan) is the kidnapper. Tension rises and mob violence spills over. Meanwhile the child is still missing.
A taut and tense thriller, centred on a fine performance by Harry Morgan, as it explores the differing points of view being played out as the interrigation of the suspect continues.
