| Stripped -own Trouble |
Waiting for his connecting train at the train station to visit his mother was Virgil Tibbs, a police officer from Philadelphia. This was well portrayed by the legendary Sidney Poitier. He was brought in for questioning at the local police station.

From being a suspect, he was tasked to trace the murderer through the heat of the night where a young girl would go topless to beat the sweltering Mississippi heat. This was to cause some male hormones to go ballistic and the girl got pregnant.
It is from this pregnant girl that desired an abortion that all hell almost broke loose in this quaint town of Sparta.
This movie was voted Best Film in 1967 and won the oscar as well for Rod Steiger for best actor as the police chief.
Ray Charles Provided the song to the movie
