Rev. Stephen Kumalo (James Earl Jones) travels to the big city only to be ripped off, find his sister is working as a prostitute, and his son is accused of murder. After having a bad day he encounters the father (Richard Harris) of the man his son killed. They lament for the situation in South Africa as we see the murder as a microcosm of their situation of despair.
