- Sue Kerr Hicks, best known for his role as prosecutor in the 1925 trial of John T. Scopes for teaching the theory of evolution in a Tennessee school, reflects on the trial and the part he played in history.

He discusses how the trial progressed, the celebrities who were involved, and his hope that the case would eventually be tested in the United States Supreme Court. Hicks also explains how his name came to be the inspiration for the Shel Silverstein song "A Boy Named Sue," which was popularized by country music performer Johnny Cash. Hicks is interviewed by Jeff Bradley. Ends abruptly.
