Fred Williamson is a peanut-chomping ex-cop turned private detective. One day he finds the neighbor of his lesbian girlfriend dead in her apartment. The trail leads him into the underworld of drugs, porn, prostitution and Jesus freaks in Venice, California. It's actually not nearly as interesting as it sounds, as the characters that inhabit that world are little more than Hollywood stereotypes. The fight scenes use obvious doubles and the car chases are in slow motion. Nonetheless, fans of blaxploitation may get a few chuckles while soaking up the early 70s atmosphere.
