The job opening occurs, but Polish-American immigrant Joe Dombrowski (Henry Brandon) is named the new foreman. Now hatred takes over, and Frank is recruited to join a secret White supremacist organization, The Black Legion. Frank and the Legion members burn down the Dombrowski family's chicken farm, and the family leaves town. Frank now gets the job of foreman, but tragedies lie ahead—beginning with his wife Ruth (Erin O'Brien-Moore) leaving when his job and the atrocities he commits with the Black Legion take up most of his time. Now, matters go from bad to worse as murder and a prison sentence follow with the Black Legion behind the whole thing.
