In this spoof, Canadian politicians and financiers are ridiculed. Smitty (Henry Ramer) has ambitions of becoming an important and immoderately wealthy man. His idea of importance, however, is to become the president of his ethnic society. As for wealth, the path he chooses for that is to bribe or suborn local politicians to clear the way for his shady stock offerings. But between his two-timing wife, his very advanced mistress, and himself, innumerable obstacles to his advancement pop up everywhere. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A married couple struggles to adjust when the husband's brain is transplanted into the skull of a black man. David Rowe (Raymond St. Jacques) is the white district attorney who must now live life as a black man. His wife Margaret (Susan Oliver) tries to deal with the transformation of her husband's appearance as David feels the stings of racial prejudice for the first time. Sheriff Webb (Leslie Nielsen) is the local lawman who resents the district attorney, but after the sheriff kills his own black mistress, he must rely on David for his legal defense. Margaret has trouble being intimate with the man she knows is still her husband. David investigates the murder of the young black woman as his superiors, friends and family treat him differently. Although the premise is implausible, excellent acting helps make things more believable. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
