“She was his slave---bought and paid for---and now he was protecting her with his life. Would she ever understand why?”

Victor an adventurous young swashbuckler in 19th-century New Orleans takes possession of a barber shop as the result of winning a duel and decides to settle down to a life as a barber. He meets a beautiful young woman and pursues her but she dismisses his attentions because she thinks he is just a barber. Also pursuing the woman is the evil Capt. Remy whom she also brushes off. He however doesn't take rejection so lightly and forges papers "proving" that the girl is a "quadroon"--part black which means that she can be sold as a slave. She is sold to Capt. Remy and when Victor hears of it he determines to rescue her.
