美国南北战争时期,南方庄园主卡梅伦一家原本过着安逸的生活。卡梅隆和斯通曼家的孩子同在一所寄宿学校念书,接触中,年轻的本杰明·卡梅隆(亨利·B·沃斯奥 Henry B. Walthall饰)和埃尔西·斯通曼(丽莲·吉许 Lillian Gish饰)互生情愫。然而不久南北战争爆发。本杰明参加了南方军队,奔赴前线,与北方的昔日好友斯通曼(拉尔夫·李维斯 Ralph Lewis饰)成了敌手。战后,黑人烧杀抢掠。本杰明组织三K党,对黑人进行报复,粉碎了建立所谓的“黑人王国”的阴谋。本杰明与埃尔西这对患难情侣也终于走到了一起。他们的结合,预示着一个新的国家的诞生和统一。 这部由美国电影巨匠D·W·格里菲斯编导的长达三个多小时的鸿篇巨制《一个国家的诞生》,是世界电影史上最重要的里程碑式电影,也是默片时代的经典之作。本片因为对白人优越主义的提倡,以及对三K党的美化而颇具争议性。

Felix McClure, an Oxford University professor, is stabbed to death in his college study. Not only was he an expert in his field but he was one of the University's key fund-raisers. The investigation focuses on Brooks, a one-time cleaner for McClure who quit his college job abruptly after a student, Mathew Rodway, jumped out of a college window high on drugs. When Morse learns that Brooks' daughter was the object of affection for both Rodway and another student, he has another possible suspect. Brooks' wife also worked for one of McClure's friends and Morse uncovers a conspiracy that he may not be able to prove.
