Blue Eyed Black Boy

Synopsis:
Pauline Waters sits in a rocking chair with a bandaged foot talking to her daughter Rebecca. They are worrying about Jack Pauline's son who has not arrived home from work yet. Pauline wonders why Jack has blue eyes. Doctor Thomas Grey arrives to change the bandage on the foot. He is engaged to Rebecca. A neighbour rushes in and says that Jack has been arrested for brushing up against a white woman who had accused him of attacking her. A group of white men had beaten Jack up before the police could take him away. The noisy crowd they can hear outside is a lynch mob. Pauline takes down a box and from it takes a ring that she gives to the Doctor. She tells him to go to the Governor with the ring and tell him that his son is about to be lynched. The Governor sends in troops
