北卡罗来纳恐怖角。几年前因犯杀人罪而入狱的塞勒终于获释出狱，与他真心爱恋的萝拉团聚。萝拉的母亲玛丽埃塔不喜欢他们俩在一起，决心把他们拆散。因此，当塞勒和萝拉去南方时，玛丽埃塔派她的旧情人、私人侦探约翰尼追踪他们。途中，萝拉回忆起13岁时被叔父强奸和父亲自焚而死的情景。塞勒也回忆起玛丽埃塔对他勾引不成便派人杀他，他不得已将那人杀死，因而入狱。当时，他正为一毒品走私贩桑托干事。桑托怕约翰尼发现他们的贩毒活动将其杀死。塞勒和萝拉又来到一个叫比格图纳的小镇。遇到了同是贩毒团伙的鲍比·佩鲁。佩鲁已知萝拉怀孕，劝塞勒参加一抢粮店的活动。事实上，这是为处死塞勒设置的圈套。当警察赶到时，佩鲁被击毙，而塞勒再次入狱。几年后，萝拉又一次违背母亲的意愿，带着她与塞勒的儿子去接塞勒。塞勒见到他们时，对是否还能与萝拉生活在一起产生了怀疑，最后，塞勒与萝拉带着共同的梦想携手而去。

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 the 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. Much of the humor is urban black, which was unusual in 1970
