A David L. Wolper Production, Warner Bros. Television, A Warner Communications CompanySynopsis
In 1824, Kizzy is now the mother a youth who will be called Chicken George, sired by her owner. The master of the grubby "plantation" raises fighting roosters, and he is visited by another "sporting man," Mr. Bennett, who wants to buy Chicken George, who is a superb trainer. At the same time, Bennett's slave wants to marry Kizzy, but George's owner won't sell George to Bennett, and Kizzy will not marry away from her son. Soon, as word of spreading slave rebellions led by Nat Turner reaches the plantation, the owner's wife becomes terrified of all black people, and the slaves are guarded by the master's gun. Chicken George, who has taken a wife, is sent off to England to pay his owner's debt, with the promise that he will return a free man.
