Details: The setting is Atoka County, Alabama, the time is somewhere after the peak of the civil rights movement, and a lot of the white residents don't like it and are prepared to commit assault, rape, or murder to get their point across. In the middle of this powder keg are two men County Sheriff "Big Track" Bascomb (Lee Marvin) and Mayor Hardy (David Huddleston) Each man is playing both ends against the middle in the impending race war. Between them is Breck Stancill (Richard Burton), an eighth-generation resident with lots of land but little money. But fate plays a hand when Nancy Poteet (Linda Evens) is raped one night, apparently by a black man. The prime mover in all of this is deputy, Butt Cut Bates (Cameron Mitchell), a hardcore klansman who won't be reined in by Hardy and who is not avove rapingt a black woman prisoner (Lola Falana)that he's arrested illegally.
