Terry (Martin Lawrence) is an up and coming comedian, but believes politics will get him the big breaks and more time at the popular Dukie’s Comedy Club. Just so happens that Terry is ‘sleeping’ with Ruby Lynn Sinclair (Jedda Jones), the wife of club owner Dukie Sinclair (John Witherspoon). What follows is a night of comedy, romance, comedy, action, comedy, and Terry achieving his initial goal: getting $67 dollars to pay his phone bill.
