Synopsis

Lors d'une soirée à New York, Jeffrey Baxter, un avocat, demande Glenda O'Brien en mariage, sans savoir qu'elle a déjà vécu avec quelqu'un. Ils projettent de partir le soir même pour une petite croisière au cours de laquelle ils se marieront. Mais Glenda reçoit un appel de son ancien amant, Leo Young, qui l'implore de revenir avec lui. À regret, elle accepte d'aller le voir dans l'appartement qu'il a loué juste au-dessus du sien. Lorsqu'elle lui dit que leur histoire est terminée pour de bon, il l'enferme et menace de faire tuer Jeffrey par un certain Little Maxie. Désespérée, elle frappe Leo avec une statue et le tue. De retour chez elle, sa bonne lui conseille de partir quand même en croisière. Cependant, Stephen Bessemer, un ami de Leo, obtient du procureur Clarke le droit d'enquêter sur Glenda et embarque sur le même navire. Il arrive à lui faire avouer le crime lors d'un faux procès au cours d'un bal masqué. Plus tard Glenda se confesse à Jeffrey, qui la comprend et continue à vouloir l'épouser. Stephen fait arrêter Glenda, mais Jeffrey a obtenu une confession de Little Maxie à propos des projets de meurtre de Leo et Glenda est libérée.

Hearts in Dixie unfolds as a series of sketches of life among American blacks. It featured characters with dignity, who took action on their own, and who were not slaves. The plot focuses on Grandfather Nappus (Clarence Muse), his daughter, Chloe (Bernice Pilot), her young son, Chinaquapin (Eugene Jackson), and her husband, Gummy (Stepin Fetchit). To make certain his grandson Chinaquapin does not end up like his father or become tainted by the superstitions that dominate the community, the grandfather decides to send the boy away. One particularly tender scene shows Nappus' love for his grandson, whom he sends North for schooling. The film ends with the youngster's departure aboard a riverboat.
