St. Joan of the Stockyard

Tickets and Information

Salvation Army lieutenant Joan Dark descends into the lower depths of Chicago's slaughter houses where she encouters the misery, greed and restlessness of the meat-packing poor. To alleviate their suffering, Joan appeals to Chicago's rich, conscience-stricken butcher-boss, Pierpont Mauler. But when Joan realizes that Mauler's philanthropy keeps the poor poor and the rich rich, her crusade for charity turns into a violent struggle to overthrow the system. -jam
