Tells how a bigoted white suburbanite turns black overnight. Stars Godfrey Cambridge.
Jeff Gerber lives in an average suburban neighborhood with his seemingly liberal housewife Althea, who tolerates her husband's character flaws out of love. One morning, Jeff wakes up to find that his pigment has changed. He spends almost the entire day at home, afraid to go out of the house, only going out once to buy "the stuff they use in order to make themselves look white" Jeff resigns his regular job, buys an apartment building, starts his own insurance company, and practices martial arts with black menial workers.
