For the first time in picture history, the outrageous talent of Richard Pryor and the ingenious comedic sense of Jackie Gleason are combined in the same film.Gleason is U.S. Bates, a megalomaniac millionaire who owns most of south Louisiana.Pryor is Jack Brown, a former journalist who has worked his way down the vocational ladder to the position of janitor in Bates' department store.Among Bates' other vast holdings is a young son Eric (Scott Schwartz), who visits his father for one week a year.Typically, Eric is chauffeured to the department store after-hours to pick out anything he wants.This time, Eric has a more elaborate toy in mind - Jack Brown.So begins the unique relationship that teaches Eric more about life than fun and games.
