Synopsis
Jean Valjean est un bagnard emprisonné pour un simple vol de pain parce qu'il était affamé. Il parvient à s'échapper et sur sa route, il rencontre un homme d'église qui changera sa vie. Il devient peu à peu un homme en vue de la ville où il s'est installé sous un faux nom pour échapper à son passé. La jeune Cosette que les vils Thénardiers exploitent à leur service, est recueillie par Valjean qui en prendra soin quant à son éducation. Mais l'inspecteur Javert, Policier obtus et convaincu que l'âme humaine ne peut changer, reconnaît en Valjean l'ancien détenu et veut à tout prix le compromettre...Actors

In the year 1890, the honorable Judge William Priest enforces justice in an old Kentucky town. The film begins with the comedic trial of Jeff Poindexter. Jeff Poindexter, a black man, has been accused of stealing chickens. Although Judge Priest is presiding, he is reading a newspaper while Senator Horace Maydew argues the plaintiff’s case. In fact, no one, but Senator Maydew, seems to care about the case. Jeff Poindexter sleeps through Senator Maydew’s testimony. After Senator Maydew is finished with his argument, Judge Priest asks the sheriff to wake up Jeff Poindexter. When Jeff reveals he got his name from Major Randolph Poindexter, Judge Priest and the other confederate veterans in attendance become very excited. They praise Major Poindexter’s ability to lick the Yankees. While the confederate veterans reminisce over the civil war, Senator Maydew complains that such history has nothing to do with the case. Judge Priest says it is relevant because Major Poindexter would often steal Yankee chickens. Next, Jeff reveals he was only trying to fish for catfish. Judge Priest, a fishing enthusiast himself, has a discussion with Jeff about his fishing. After the trial, Jeff lives with Judge Priest.
