*****SPOILERS***** Cotton-picking film about a internment camp in the deep south where the person running it Russ Tropp, John Russell, uses illegal slave and immigrant labor to get his cotton picked. Russ also fancies himself as a ladies man who forces the pretty women or teenagers working at his cotton-picking farm to put out for him in ways that's not demanded of their jobs which they get big .75 a day for doing. It's when Russ started to try to get very friendly with pretty and a bit naive, in not realizing what his plans are for her, Penny Lowe, Mamie Van Doren,that his empire in the cotton-picking business started to unravel.
The only way that Russ was able to achieves his vast power in getting slave labor for his cotton-picking farm was with the help of his lover and wife, which was kept from the public, Judge Cecilla Steele, Lurene Tuttle, who supplied him with a stream of cotton pickers. That's by her sending young people, like Penny, away for as much as six months to his cotton farm on trumped up and faked violations of the law. This was done by the local sheriff Mitch Bowers, Robert Foulk, who was being paid off by Russ to do it. It's when Judge Steele's son Bobby, Don Brunett, showed up from his stint in the US Navy and got a job working the cotton picking machine at the farm that he soon realized what a criminal and slave racket the place really was. It's then that Bobby together with Penny and her sister Jane, Lorie Nelson, who's also unturned for trumped up charges at the cotton picking farm started making trouble for Russ. That in Bobby threatening to expose to the local police and the immigration department his entire rotten corrupt cotton picking racket.
***SPOILERS*** The love sick, for that hunk of a man Russ Tropp, Judge Steele soon saw the light with her son Bobby's help in what a rotten and lowlife creep her boyfriend or secret husband Russ really is. The final nail in the coffin was when one of the cotton pickers a teenager called Baby, Yvonne Fredderson, suffered a miscarriage, was Russ Tropp the father?,and died from internal bleeding at the nearest hospital. It was terrible that Baby died but what was even worse was that Russ and his #1 henchman that drunken sop Jack Landis, Glenn Dixon, refused to provide Baby transpiration and Bobby had to carjack a company car to get her to the hospital emergency ward.
With the by now fed up cotton picking interned farmhands up to their necks with Russ' abuse of them they start the what was soon to be coined the "Revolt of the Cotton Pickers" and bring Russ Tropp's cotton picking empire to a sorry end. And besides Bobby Penny & Jane putting the skids on Russ' cotton picking operation it's his former lover and soon to be former wife, she's filing for divorce after the movie, Judge Steele that has both Russ and his stooge sheriff Bowers handcuffed and sent away to the clink. Where their soon to face the music in the many crimes that they both committed at Russ' cotton picking farm or better yet gulag.
