5 | Jewish Canadian actor Creator/WilliamShatner stars as Adam Cramer, charming cross-burner and zealously patriotic American anti-Semite, who has come to the fictional Southern town of Caxton intending to help its residents fight school desegregation, which is essentially indistinguishable from turning the racism up to eleven. |

10 | !!''The Intruder'' contains the following tropes: |
11 | |
12 | * TheCasanova: Albeit the creepy, lecherous kind. |
13 | * GunNut: Cramer, as well as Joey’s younger brother. Unfortunately, Cramer actually ''has'' a gun and can treat us to a little bit of [[RecklessGunUsage reckless gun usage]] as well. |
14 | * LargeHam: Justified, as Cramer is a self-righteous blowhard with a rapt audience. |
15 | * OnlySaneMan: No one but Tom [=McDaniel=] is bothered enough by the idea of attacking a family for Driving While Black to say something about it. |
16 | * PlayingSick: Or maybe Vi was a lot more perceptive than her husband and Cramer actually ''did'' make her sick. |
17 | * PompousPoliticalPundit: Guess who. |
18 | * SouthernGothicSatan: Adam Cramer is a mundane example -- a charming, zealously patriotic cross-burner who comes to the fictional Southern town of Caxton intending to help its residents fight school desegregation, amplifying the townsfolk's already-present racism to a peak of violent white supremacism. |
