The World, the Flesh and the Devil Plot and Cast
Ralph Burton, a miner trapped for days by a cave-in, digs himself out to discover that a nuclear holocaust has seemingly destroyed all of mankind. He makes his way to New York City, which is deserted, and builds a life there. He is astonished to eventually find Sarah Crandall, another survivor, and the two form a close friendship. Their bond is tested when Benson Thacker pilots his small boat into the city's harbor, and tensions rise among the three, particularly between the white Thacker and the black Burton.
