A woman is laying on the floor in front of a door in a bedroom, she sits up and takes a bottle of alcohol off a table, then she takes the glass and puts it on the floor. Then she pours herself a drink and begins to sing a blues song. We see a closer shot of her singing the blues. The shot fades to black and then she is shown in a bar continuing the song and holding a beer. The bartender is smoking a cigarette. She is wearing a hat and dress and she is an African American or Black woman.Stars BESSIE SMITH.
