After gangster Mulligans (s) cars colony, fleeing northern justice, finds a hiding place in Alabama, spoiled, naive daughter Grace () refuses to travel on after seeing the Manderlay cotton plantation being run under slavery rules, called Mams (s) law, including flogging. She keeps half of dads goons as guard to force the dying matriarch-owners heirs, which she shamelessly dispossesses and reduces to "staff", to taste destitution under absurd, gun-imposed contracts. The "slaves" are made free partners, supposed to vote for progress after lessons from Grace. But almost all of her democracy-pupils prove to be fickle, dumb, and selfish, except old Wilhelm (). Her and their ignorance in Southern planting and crafty Dixie ways means more problems are created then solved. By the time dad returns to pick her up or abandon her for good, shes the one who has learned and changed the most.
In 1933, after leaving Dogville, while traveling with her father () and his gangsters to the southern U.S., Grace Margaret Mulligan () sees a slave ready to be punished on a property called Manderlay. Slavery had been abolished seventy years ago, and Grace becomes revolted with the attitude of the owners of Manderlay, keeping slaves in their cotton fields and following predetermined despicable rules called "Mams (s) Law". Grace decides to stay with some gangsters in Manderlay and give notions of democracy to the slaves and to the white family. When harvest time comes, Grace sees the social and economical reality of Manderlay.
