The Battle of Charles

A man named Charles is wrongly accused of assaulting a white woman. Elsie's husband hears about the incident and calls in soldiers to defend his wife's honor. The newspapers report false stories about black men assaulting white women, causing hundreds of men to hunt down Charles. When they spot him and his wife, they attack and beat them. However, Charles' neighbors come to their defense and the couple is able to escape home safely, but not without gunshots following them to their front door.
