In the city of Crestview, Florida, there stood an old steel mill. There were several African-American families that lived near it in a place they called the Steel Quarters. These are stories they tell and passed down from generation to generation. Two girls are asked by their mother to stay in the house and not to eat from the peach tree. They disobeyed and went out anyway. On their way back to the house, they meet with an unexpected visitor: The One-Legged Man. He chases them to force them to tell the truth about their disobedience. The girls learn their lesson in the end.
