Synopsis
For years, the world has been run by "The Man", a faceless, soulless, funkless figure who controls everything from movies to politics in order to keep African-Americans disenfranchised. When The Man derails a black general's (Williams) presidential campaign, Undercover Brother (Griffin) comes to the rescue. In Undercover Brother's way is Mr. Feather (Kattan) The Man's henchman and White She-Devil (Richards), "the black man's kryptonite."
