Plot summary
Bill Duke directs this quirky film adaptation of Chester Himes' crime novel,a heavily plotted gangster tale
with a sweet love story hidden underneath. The film begins in Natchez, Mississippi in 1956. During a police
shoot-out with the mob leader Slim's (Badja Djola) gang, Slim's moll Imabelle (Robin Givens) takes off with a
cadre of stolen gold. As a result, Imabelle is chased by Slim's mob from Mississippi to New York. By the time
she reaches Harlem, she is broke and has to figure out a way to ditch the trunk full of gold. She finds herself
at the annual Undertaker's Ball, where she sees the big and dumb Jackson (Forest Whitaker), a bumbling undertaker's
assistant. She spots Jackson as a mark that she can use as a cover and latches onto him immediately. She moves in
with him to hide out, but Imabelle becomes taken with his innocence. For his part, Jackson falls head over heels in
love with her. But the Mississippi mob catches up with her and takes her away. Jackson calls in his street-wise
brother Goldy (Gregory Hines) to help him rescue Imabelle. Jackson fears that Imabelle has been kidnapped. But Goldy
knows better, he still agrees to help him but Goldy wants the gold for himself.
