Warren needs to see Hammond wed a woman from a respectable family, sire a son, and acquire a Mandingo slave to breed a stronger slave colony. Hammond finds that "respectable woman" in his bride, Blanche, but her questionable chastity soon has Hammond returning to his wandering ways. When he purchases the beautiful Ellen to be a "house slave"--and his mistress--Blanche is pushed to the edge.
