On the plantation, Laura and Theo are herded into the slave’s quarters. Theo is invited into the plantation owner’s mansion. There, he shares cigars and brandy while listening to the guest discuss what to do about the white question. The final solution turns out to be something that no one expected.

Free at Last - part four

This is part four, the final episode of Free at Last. In previous episodes, the trio wound up on an 18th-century plantation in the American deep South. In Hell, however, White racists are slaves to Black plantation owners. Jefferson, an African American landowner, is turned White by mistake and now is helping with an escape from the plantation. Things do not quite work out the way they planned. They wind up in a place they did not expect with people they have not anticipated.
