The murderous Brutus Jones escapes from jail and bluffs his way to becoming the emperor of a Caribbean island. Jones claims to have magical powers and rules with an iron fist. Based on Eugene O'Neill's Expressionistic play, the film stars Paul Robeson in the same role he played on the Broadway stage. Brutus Jones is an unforgettable character, and The Emperor Jones is an American classic! This version includes the rare, blue-tinted reel.
