Julie Weston and her Aunt Hattie fall victim to a wealthy swindler who tricks them out of their beloved candy shop. When the corrupt businessman meets a sudden and mysterious demise, Julie is wrongly suspected of the crime. To clear her name, she must uncover the true culprit hidden within her tight-knit community. A vital piece of cinematic history, this early independent “race film” is notable for featuring an all-Black cast and highlighting the incredible talents of the Juanita Hall Choir shortly before Hall’s Tony-winning Broadway fame.
