When soldier Jack Spade returns to his hometown of Any Ghetto, U.S.A., he is met with the heart-wrenching news of his brother Junebug’s death, a victim of a tragic overdose on gold chains. The loss ignites a fire within Jack as he reunites with his mother and Cheryl. As he navigates through his old neighborhood, Jack becomes acutely aware of the insidious influence that gold chains have had over the community. He feels compelled not only to avenge his brother’s untimely demise but also to reclaim the neighborhood from the clutches of despair and corruption. With a vow to dismantle the empire of Mr. Big, the notorious chain lord whose greed contributed to Junebug’s downfall, Jack sets his sights on restitution for the entire community.
To plan the downfall of Mr. Big, Jack seeks the help of his childhood hero, local legend John Slade. Together, they assemble a team comprising Kung Fu Joe, Flyguy, Slammer, and Hammer. However, their quest to eliminate Mr. Big quickly spirals into chaos, drawing fierce retaliation from the chain lord. The team faces a series of catastrophic events: Kung Fu Joe suffers multiple gunshot wounds at the hands of police officers, while Hammer experiences a slapstick misfortune when he slips on bullets and subsequently gets shot.
In a climactic twist, Cheryl becomes a hostage of criminals, adding urgency to their mission, and John Slade tragically meets a fiery end when he approaches a window during a raid. Despite these setbacks, as each member of the team is picked off in various misadventures, it appears that only Jack is left to face the formidable gang. In a moment of dark comedy, he even chooses to lock his mother in a closet when she confronts him with a shotgun.
Ultimately, Jack confronts Mr. Big, and in a tense showdown, he witnesses John, still smoldering from the explosion, deal a final blow that dismantles the gold chain trade in their community. As the dust settles, the story culminates in a poignant reunion, with both Jack and Cheryl, as well as John and Belle, finding solace and hope in each other’s arms. In the end, the film serves both as a commentary on the lost values in their neighborhood and a testament to the powerful bonds of family and friendship.
