Laura knows little about the lives of her family's slaves until she visits her Quaker aunt and uncle and becomes involved in their work for the Underground Railroad. To help a young woman to freedom, Laura dons a disguise and travels north as her "sister." The telling is rather tepid overall, but the story does include a few exciting scenes.
