Director: Jack Hively

In this alleged retelling of Lincoln's early life, the President-to-be is rescued by Henry, a Black man and freed slave who has lost his papers. Locals with a grudge against Lincoln and a hatred of African-Americans frame Henry for stealing, and it's up to Lincoln to defend the man and find the vital clue that will set him free.
