"What the hell do the attorney general, the state department,
or even the President of the United States know about one god-damn
thing that's going on up here in Harlem?" -- Detective Coffin
Ed Johnson
Detectives Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson are two black
cops with a reputation for breaking the odd head. Both are annoyed
at the success of the Reverend Deke O'Mailey who is selling trips
back to Africa to the poor on an installment plan. When his truck
is hijacked and a bale of cotton stuffed with money is lost in the
chase, Harlem is turned upside down by Gravedigger and Coffin Ed,
the Reverend, and the hijackers.
