Running up large debts, Kentucky farmer Arthur Shelby faces the prospect of losing everything.
He raises money by selling two of his slaves, Uncle Tom (a middle-aged man with wife and children), and Harry (young son of maid Eliza), to Mr. Haley, a crude and coarse slave trader.
When Shelby tells his wife about his agreement with Haley, she's appalled because she has promised her personal slave Eliza that Shelby would not sell her son.
Eliza overhears the conversation and, after warning Uncle Tom, takes Harry and flees to the North, hoping to find freedom with her husband, George, who already escaped.
Haley pursues her, but two other Shelby slaves alert Eliza to the danger.
She miraculously evades capture by crossing the half-frozen Ohio River, the boundary separating Kentucky from the North.
Haley hires a slave hunter named Loker to capture Eliza and Harry, who make their way to a Quaker settlement.
They are joined at the settlement by George, who reunites joyously with his family for the trip to Canada.

On the boat, Tom meets a little girl named Eva, who befriends him...
