Plot Summary: | | |
A 20-year-old Samuel Clemens sets off from Missouri and meets up with a slave boxer and his master/promoter. The experience awakens the abolitionist spirit in the young author that would inform books like "Huck Finn." Clemens becomes determined to free the slave, but when his scheme is successful, the slave's ex-master attempts to win him back by rigging a bare-knuckle brawl against a larger and more experienced opponent.
