Topsy and Eva

HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS ROARED at their antics on the stage -- MILLIONS will enjoy the laugh of their lives when they see the INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS -- DUNCAN SISTERS IN THE MOTION PICTURE 'TOPSY and EVA'

Topsy is the main character in this movie. When the black girl who "jes' growed" is auctioned as a slave but nobody will bid on her, Little Eva purchases Topsy for a nickel. That's the one part of this movie that I found plausible: slaveholders often refused to buy children, since their upkeep in food usually exceeded any labour they performed. There's a gooey romantic subplot between Mariette (the niece of Simon Legree) and George Shelby, son of a prominent slaveholder.
