    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film is based on a newspaper comic strip of the same name by Jim Lawrence and Jorge Longarón that debuted January 18, 1970 and ran in 80 to 100 papers. It was the first mainstream comic strip with a black lead character. The end credits thank Chicago Tribune Syndication, which licensed the comic strip to newspapers. Ironically, the movie was released after the strip ended in 1974.
