Overview

Willy Wallace is a kindly, middle aged gentleman who spends his time on the porch of his small home in rural Mississippi carving wooden birds. One afternoon, three college kids wander up. They are conducting a survey on race relations in the Southern school system. Willy claims that he has nothing to say, but the truth slowly comes out: years ago Willy was a violent Ku Klux Klan member. His activities brought disaster to one of the student's family and he is seeking revenge. Willy attempts to teach a lesson he painfully learned: violence and hate do good to no man.
