Details

When the body of an industrialist is found in a small town on the Mississippi, a black man is arrested. The questioning, conducted in a brutal and biased manner by Police Chief Bill Gillespie, reveals that the man is a cop himself. His name is Virgil Tibbs, top homicide detective in Philadelphia. Although Tibbs and Gillespie can barely talk about each other, they are still obliged to solve the murder case together. Tibb's suspicions go to the aristocratic Eric Endicott, a supporter of the old southern values. But in the end he has to conclude that his suspicions are also based on prejudice. In the further investigation, Tibbs and Gillespie get more and more respect for each other.
