Before Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, Dave Chapelle and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka) there was Super Spook! Leonard Jackson (Five on the Blackhand Side, The Color Purple) is Super Spook! He doesn't fit the mold of your typical handsome black action hero. He's short, old, and out of rhythm from the cats down in Harlem. After a Harlem numbers lady (Virginia Fields) is robbed in Central Park, her daughter (Marcella Lowery, TV's The Cosby Show, Ghostwriter) hires Super Spook to solve her case before the mob and a crooked undercover cop (Tony King, Report To The Commisioner) come down on her mom. Can Super Spook find the robber named Hi-Yo (Bill Jay) before teh crooked cops do? Or will Super Spook be caught in non-stop lunacy with strange and odd people as he tries to unravel the mystery?
