Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
Legree's home, showing a large veranda with great colonial pillars and beautiful cotton fields in the background. Legree is seen to be walking nervously up and down the veranda, and calls to Sambo to bring him a drink. After drinking, he tells Sambo and Quimbo to bring Tom to him. He asks Tom if he knew the hiding place of Emaline and Cassy, who ran away the night before. Tom says that he did but that he would not reveal it. Legree becomes furious and tells Tom that he has decided to kill him. He strikes Tom over the head with the butt of his whip. Tom drops like a log, and then raising on his elbow, tells Legree that he forgives him. Legree strikes him again and calling Sambo and Quimbo, tells them to take Tom and throw him in the woodshed. . . .
