Denied a loan to set up his own fix-it shop, James (
John Amos) decides to establish his new business in the Evans apartment. Though he wants to stir up business, James must keep his new activities under wraps. The reason? Landlord Bookman (Johnny Brown) is just itching for an excuse to toss the Evans family out for breaking their lease -- and a business on the premises is the perfect lease-breaker. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
