Synopsis
Frank Taylor, un ouvrier, s'est fait prendre sa place par un immigrant polonais. Pour se venger des étrangers, il entre dans une secte, « la Légion noire », sorte de Klu Klux Klan dont les membres pillent, incendient et massacrent, souvent guidés par leurs rancunes personnelles. Taylor va même jusqu'à tuer son meilleur ami. Mais, pris de remords, il dénonce l'organisation et les coupables sont immédiatement appréhendés. Lui-même est condamné à la prison à vie.
