John Daniels stars as "The Baron" a strong willed black pimp who runs the streets of Los Angeles. He also has a very different life as a family man with a wife and two children and someday he wants out of the pimping business.
He soon finds that a bigger organization is moving in and wants him out. There is a lot of great action and violence in this urban thriller that is much better made than most of it's type.
Daniels carries his role to perfection,and while some of the acting is a little stiff, it just seems to fit. George "Buck" Flower is a corrupt cop that Baron takes care of in a most interesting and somewhat funny way.
Another surprise here is the role of Clarisse, Baron's wife in his other life, as the role is played by the lovely Marilyn Joi under the name Tracy King. Joi is so damn good looking and steals every scene she is in.
If you're a fan of the blaxploitation films and wants a lot of action and blood, then this is the film for you. The print is somewhat worn and tattered, but as I have said before, that is how these films were meant to be watched. A Highly Recommended film.
