Tom Refuses to Flog Emaline (second part)

  Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
. . . Legree's anger increases and he calls two negroes, Sambo and Quimbo, telling them to tie Tom to the whipping post. The overseer is seen to whip Tom until he is interfered with by Cassy, who pulls the whip out of his hand. Legree interferes, and Cassy draws back the whip as if to strike him, making an exciting finish to the scene.
