Storyline Jack Spade (Keenen Ivory Wayans) comes home to the ghetto and
finds his brother dead from a gold chain overdose. With the help of his
hero, John Slade (Bernie Casey), and a team of washed-up crime fighters,
Spade declares vengeance on Mr. Big (John Vernon), the white crime
leader responsible for selling gold chains on the
streets. But Spade realizes that he must take matters into his own hands
to finish the job in this zany spoof of 1970s blaxploitation films.
Storyline Terry (Anitra Ford), a social-climbing young woman accidentally gets caught up in the
activities of two revolutionaries, Blossom and Django, and finds herself
in a concentration camp for women. In the center of the camp is a
towering wooden machine ("The Big Bird Cage") in which the women risk
their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners
are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners,
and all attempts at escape are dealt with...permanently. Terry's only
hope for escape lies in Blossom (Pam Grier) and her revolutionary allies.
