Synopsis

A meandering take off on Uncle Tom's Cabin, with predictable stereotypes. After their whip-cracking slaveowner chases them all the way into the Arctic, Uncle Tom sings the song, "Lord, You Made the Nights Too Long", which sounds like it was taken from an old 78 record. A whale comes to the rescue, 'popping' the slave owner out of its blow hole into the stratosphere!
