Synopsis
In 1835, in New Orleans, wealthy, married Creole men can buy quadroon women and set them up in second households, where the women, trained in the arts of sexual pleasure, serve as their mistresses. These women, who are one quarter black and three quarters white, are introduced to potential buyers at special Quadroon Balls and are considered valuable property. When New Englander Caleb Wyckliffe arrives in New Orleans, he is naïve about the ways of that society and, soon cheated out of his savings by corrupt and powerful landowner Cesar Dupree, is reduced to earning his living. As a schoolteacher for young quadroons who hope to raise their value at the balls through education, Caleb meets Coral, a quadroon owned by a wealthy Creole, and wants to marry her. Although a sympathetic Creole, Antoine, tries to help the young couple, Caleb fights duels and risks his life for Coral, but ultimately dies.

Notes
Plot information and credits for this unviewed film were gleaned from studio publicity materials, which also noted that the film was shot on location in New Orleans. Although Box Office news items confirm that the premiere of Quadroon was held in New Orleans on November 10, 1971, and the picture was licensed for distribution in the state of Maryland on November 10, 1971, the only review located was the May 10, 1972 Variety review, which followed the picture's opening in Chicago. Modern sources add Grover Daniels, Sarah Jones, Dolores Torino and Donald Pearce to the cast.
