Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Introducing COFFIN ED and GRAVEDIGGER. Two detectives only a mother could love.
Harlem's African-American population is being ripped off by the Rev. Deke O'Malley, who dishonestly claims that small donations will secure parcels of land in Africa.

However, the police, O'Malley, and lots of others find themselves scrambling when the money goes missing.
