[1] Two slave brothers, African-American Levi (Anthony Scott) and Albino Sunshine (Chris Robinson), discover a treasure map while digging on the plantation of their master, Striker (Ted Cassidy).
The two slaves follow the map continuously through the woods and swamps, regularly confronting and escaping various dangers from snakes to a group of rednecks.
The brothers continue on further and briefly find refuge in the stilt house of a kind woman (Phyllis Robinson), before a storm the following night knocks over a lantern and starts a fire that burns the house down.
They continue on into the forest, where they encounter a Native American, whom Levi strangles to death before they appropriate his canoe.
Levi overpowers the bounty hunter and beats him to death with the butt of his own rifle before the reformed Striker stops him and comforts him, even helping him carry Sunshine's body to shore.
