Huddie Leadbetter, beter bekend als Leadbelly, is een echte vrijbuiter en belandt regelmatig in de gevangenis. Gelukkig beschikt hij over een uitzonderlijk muzikaal talent, en schrijft alle frustraties van zich af in zijn trieste bluesnummers.
Nee, helaas is Leadbelly nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
