Plot Summary:Part One: The estate of Terrebonne, in Louisiana, had been heavily mortgaged by the owner, Judge Payton, who, when he died, left the estate to his brother's widow and her son George, making Mrs. Peyton the guardian of Zoe, his natural daughter by a quadroon. Zoe is a very attractive girl and wins the heart of George Peyton, who has been pledged to marry his cousin, Dora Sunnyside. Zoe captures other hearts as well. Scudder, a Terrebonne overseer, and McClosky, a slave trader, both fall victims to her charms and rivalry between them becomes intense. The mortgage on Terrebonne is suddenly foreclosed. McClosky discovers that the Free Papers on Zoe were taken out by Judge Peyton after the date of the mortgage, an illegal proceeding. Zoe is therefore an octoroon and still a slave of the estate. McClosky determines to obtain Zoe for himself. Mrs. Peyton is expecting a check that will redeem the mortgage. If McClosky can delay the check, the estate will be sold and he will then be able to buy Zoe. Mrs. Peyton sends Paul, a little slave boy, to fetch the mail, expecting the check with it. On his way back Paul notices the tin-type camera of Scudder, the overseer. He tells Wah-No-Tee, an Indian and his protector, to remove the cap from the camera. McClosky approaches the boy from behind and strikes him with a heavy club. McClosky opens the mail bag and extracts the letter and check, which he places in his bosom. The Indian thinking that the camera is a sort of gun that has killed Paul, smashes it with his club. Then he buries Paul in a nearby cane-brake. Part Two: Zoe is put up for sale. McClosky bids highest. Paul is called and found missing. A search is made and the rifled mail bag found and close to it the club with which the boy had been killed. McClosky points out that the club is the property of the Indian Wah-No-Tee and accuses him of the murder. When the Indian is brought he describes with gestures how he had found the body, of the burial, and of smashing the camera. Scudder picks up his camera and finds that in its fall the dark slide had automatically closed. He takes the plate and develops it. The photograph shows McClosky kneeling by the body and opening the mail bag. The sheriff takes the murderer, and the check is found on him. George Peyton confesses to his mother that he still loves Zoe. She overhears his declaration and knows that as a slave, George cannot marry her. She goes to the slave quarters and gets some toothache cure, which is poisonous. Meanwhile. Wah-No-Tee is on the trail of McClosky, who has escaped. Scudder and the others allow the Indian to wreak his vengeance, return to the house, bearing the check that will redeem the estate and free Zoe. Zoe comes into the house and seeks out Dora Sunnyside whose forgiveness she asks, having won the love of George Peyton, placing Dora's hand in his. Zoe swoons and is brought back to consciousness by Dora and George. She tells George to fill a glass with water and empty the headache medicine into it. Thus, she dies by the hand of the man she loves, just as Scudder enters with the check that would have obtained her freedom.
