Unfortunately, a young girl starts having sexual fantasies about alvin, which she pretends are true, and some people believe.

A pro-slavery lobby group has decided to make an example out of Alvin for killing the Bounty-hunters who tried to kidnap Alvin's young black friend, Arthur. And Alvin's dishonest former master Makepeace Smith has a score to settle. Meanwhile, Alvin's younger brother Calvin, who is gifted like Alvin, makes the decision to use his powers for evil instead of good.
