Plot
Quentin "Fifty Dollah" Waise is involved in a crime ring that earns him good money but worries his grandmother Odetta, who dotes on him and encourages him to follow a more righteous path. Fifty Dollah's brother Miles "Foolish" Waise, who got his nickname from Odetta, is an aspiring comedian, but his inability to get his career going convinces his older sibling he's wasting his talents. The movie pays homage to several of Griffin's idols, such as Redd Foxx, Robin Harris and Sammy Davis Jr. who appear as feet under restroom stalls while he prepares to perform. [3]
His idols inspire Foolish to do well in his shows, which are widely attended and scheduled last to keep the bar customers drinking, but he has home trouble with his girlfriend and their son, and after the death of his grandmother, seems unable either to keep a gig or to move on. Fifty Dollah tries to give him the push he needs and tries to get his own life in order, but is distracted both by problems with criminal leader Eldorado Ron and by a painful love triangle with his brother and the girl they both like named Amie.
