Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The four Sliders arrive on an Alternate Earth ruled by the Stompers, a high-tech Nazilike organization dedicated to "Racial Repatriation" (the leader is Governor Shick--as in "Schickelgruber", a.k.a. Hitler). As a black man, Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks) is unable to elude detection, and is soon shipped off to what is euphemistically called a Detention Camp. In their efforts to save Remmy, the other Sliders can find no one willing to break ranks with the powers-that-be: everyone adores the Stompers for revitalizing the economy by creating faceless android workers called "Eddies"--who, as Remmy learns to his horror, aren't quite the soulless machines they appear to be. (Incidentally, this is series regular Cleavant Derricks' favorite Sliders episode.)
