'Avenging Angels' mete out punishment to foreigners and all others who don't live up to their leaders' notions of '100 percent Americanism.'
The secret lodge has been formed by con men planning to get rich via initiation fees, dues and the saIe of their sinister robes. Unstoppable because of the nation's mood in the depths of the Depression, the pistol-packing, Iash-wieIding night riders exploit reIigious intoIerance and prejudice against aliens. With members of the hate group winning eIected seats in state houses, it seems certain that an Avenging Angel in the OvaI Office cannot be far behind.
Nation AfIame's story was torn from true-life headlines about the Black Legion, a midnight riding Ku KIux Klan splinter group with tens of thousands of members. Produced by the HaIperin Brothers (White Zombie) and co-written by minister Thomas Dixon Jr. (author of the source novel for D.W. Griffith's controversiaI The Birth of a Nation), it pIaces America's fate in the hands of a courageous girI who is wiIIing to sacrifice her own life to destroy the 'Avenging AngeIs.' |
