Description:

Screen adaptation of the burlesque by Catherine Chisholm Cushing. Topsy, a little black imp, is offered for sale at an auction on the Shelby estate by Simon Legree; when no one bids, Eva St. Claire gets her for a nickel, and in company with Uncle Tom and other slaves she is turned over to aunt Ophelia for correction and cleaning. When St. Claire is unable to pay his debt to Legree, the latter reclaims his property; but Topsy escapes from Legree while Legree and Shelby engage in a furious battle. Struggling against great drifts of snow, she finds a pair of skis and later a horse equipped with snowshoes, and she reaches the river before Legree and his dogs and finds a graveyard where runaway slaves have sought refuge; later, learning that Eva is gravely ill, she prays for her recovery. Eva revives, and the two friends are happily reunited. <39mn 27s>
