synopsis
Rudy Ray Moore is Tucker Williams, the rapping owner and main attraction of the Blueberry Hill Disco. An ex-cop with a penchant for head-whacking martial arts, Tucker is called back into action when his nephew (Julius J. Carry III) get hooked on angel dust. Aided by the cool sensibilities of his “Gal Friday” Noel (Carol Speed-The Mack, Abbey), Tucker declares war on Stinger Ray (James H. Hawthorne), the nation’s leading angel dust producer. But as the war progresses, Tucker learns that Stinger and his goons are as deadly as the drugs they push.
