Synopsis
Lula, a sluttish white woman, boards a New York City subway car and sits next to Clay, a well-dressed black man who is the only other passenger. She flagrantly teases and provokes him, and by her actions and insults dares him to take advantage of her willingness to be seduced. Other passengers enter the car, however, and Clay refuses her advances. Once rejected, the woman turns on him and launches into a tirade against blacks, ridiculing them for their subservience to white men. Unable to control himself, Clay hits Lula and spits out his own deep hatred of whites. When he is finished, the woman lunges at him and stabs him to death. Some time later, after his body has been carried from the subway, Lula boards another car and steadily eyes her next black victim.
