Sinossi

It’s sunset in rural North Carolina just after the Civil War. Lily’s parents are away when an anonymous note warns that the Klan intends to kill her father that very night. To rescue him, Lily must ride her father’s thoroughbred stallion on the same roads over which a hundred Klansmen from three counties are traveling. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that: "The night ride of young Lily Servosse is one of the finest and most thrilling incidents that has ever been told in history or romance."
