Summary
Juke Joint: Whitney Vanderbilt (Spencer Williams) and "Cornbread" Green (July Jones) are a pair of pals who spend a night out on the town with only twenty-five cents between them. But when Whitney turns on the charm for some wealthy ladies, money will be the least of their concerns! The Bronze Buckaroo: When cowboy Bob Blake (Herbert Jeffrey) looks into the mysterious disappearance of his pal Joe, he discovers that his friend owns a plot of very valuable land that villanous Pete wants to get his greedy hands on. Go Down, Death!: In order to drum up business for his juke joint that has been going downhill since a new preacher has come to town, mob boss Big Jim Bottoms (Spencer Williams) plots to frame the reverend for adultery, winding up with a nasty case of conscience instead. The Blood of Jesus: When Martha (Cathryn Caviness) is accidentally shot when her husband is cleaning his hunting rifle, her spirit hovers at the crossroads between life and death. There, Satan attempts to lure Martha from the path of righteousness by showing her the pleasures of sin.
