La D es muda. La venganza no lo será
Dos años antes de estallar la Guerra Civil (1861-1865), Schultz, un cazarrecompensas alemán que le sigue la pista a unos asesinos, le promete al esclavo Django dejarlo en libertad si le ayuda a atraparlos. Terminado con éxito el trabajo, Django prefiere seguir al lado del alemán y ayudarle a capturar a los delincuentes más buscados del Sur. Se convierte así en un experto cazador de recompensas, pero su único objetivo es rescatar a su esposa Broomhilda, a la que perdió por culpa del tráfico de esclavos. La búsqueda llevará a Django y a Schultz hasta Calvin Candie, el malvado propietario de la plantación "Candyland". La presencia de ambos en los alrededores de la propiedad, despierta las sospechas de Stephen, el esclavo de confianza de Candie.
