"White Folks" (Kiel Martin), sometimes known by his friend, mentor and partner in crime Blue Howard (Mel Stewart) as "Folks" is also known by the more derogatory sobriquet "Trick Baby", so called because he is the son of a black prostitute and her white john. Folks and Stewart make good use of Folks' ability to pass for white, however, in their various scams which prey upon black and white prejudice and race based assumptions. When one of their victims has a heart attack when he realizes he's been had, things turn from bad to worse-the man was the uncle of a powerful mobster, who wants their heads. Howard and Folks don't realize they need to leave town until they are already deep into a real estate scam. Will there be any place left to hide by the time they cash in? ![]()
