Quotes:
« Aretha: You just don't give a damn about anybody do you?
»
« Roy: You listen to me. You show me anybody who gives a damn about anybody else and I'll show you a fool. A damn fool! Who go through life with their hands out, begging instead of grabbing. You think anybody here in this town is any different? They don't give a damn who gets killed. Just as long as the dice keep rolling, the hoes keep hoeing, and the money keeps flowing!

« Aretha: Well, let me tell you something about people, big shot. Whether they're white, black, green yellow or purple; when they smell a few dollars – they all act alike.

« Steve: I ain't a pimp. I'm Walt Disney, and this is Disneyland!

Plots:
After being hassled by The Man in a southern town, a cool operator asks some violent friends for help. After all, if you can’t trust another brother, who can you trust?
Duke Johnson visits a small Southern town, intent on burying his brother. After the funeral, he learns that he must stay for 60 days, for the estate to be processed. A few locals convince Duke to reopen his late brother’s nightclub, and soon the local police are intimidating Duke with threats of violence. Duke refuses to pay the bribes they demand, so then he and his lady friend Aretha are threatened and attacked by the crooked cops. Rather than take them on himself, Duke calls on his old pal Roy. Roy brings a few buddies to Bucktown, and they bring justice to the small town. With the cops out of the way, Duke lets his guard down. Then the situation gets out of hand again. Finally, Duke must settle the score himself.
