Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby sneak out one night to Madame Zenobia's, a high-class but illegal nightclub, where they are robbed of their wallets at gunpoint.  Poitier later discovers that his wallet contains a winning lottery ticket, and the two get involved with local mobster "Geechie Dan" (Harry Belafonte), who rides in a 1973 Imperial LeBaron, in an attempt to recover the wallet.
