Storyline
Blaxploitation superstars Calvin Lockhart, Rosalind Cash, Vonetta McGee and Jim Kelly take on the mob in this super-charged, action-packed thriller. When Melinda Lewis (McGee) is found brutally murdered in his L.A. apartment, smooth-talking disk jockey Frankie J. Parker (Lockhart) turns sleuth to clear his name. Chased and attacked by junkies, dealers and thugs, Frankie soon learns Melinda is the ex-mistress of a Chicago mobster and has evidence the gangster wants back. Enlisting the aid of a jealous ex-flame (Cash) and a karate master from the hood (Kelly, in his screen debut), Frankie sets out to track down the mob boss who framed him and avenge Melinda's death.

Heyyy! I didn't know my man J Kelly played in this joint. Gonna check it out.
Definitely one of the underrated black films of the 70's! I saw it probably five times at the movie theater. Owned the soundtrack too. Great music ... Jerry 'Ice Man' Butler sings the theme song beautifully.
