Synopsis
In post-civil War days, a venal secret cabinet seeks the destruction of the growing power of Frederick Douglass, then the Marshal of Washington, DC. Douglass is appointed to a doomed mission, presumably the acquisition of a US enclave in Haiti. During his absence, his political and financial records are manipulated to his disadvantage. Douglass returns home to face his enemies and restore his reputation.
