Samson (Rockne Tarkington) has made quite a life for himself – he owns a well-loved, permanently overcrowded strip bar, has a big stick to hit people with, a (probably doped up to the gills) lion lying around on the bar’s counter and is very much in love with his girlfriend Leslie (Carol Speed) who just happens to have the biggest afro I’ve ever seen.
Samson deserves all that, too, because he is a deeply righteous man who lets the local elderly alcoholic spend the night in his bar, and helps drug addicts clean up their act. Well, after he has threatened them with his stick. He’s also the man responsible for keeping his part of town clean from two larger criminal organizations.
