Sugar Ray gestisce un locale notturno di Harlem. Tra una partita a dadi e una bevuta, trova il tempo di accudire il piccolo Quick rimasto orfano. Vent'anni dopo, nel 1938, i due sono soci di un club molto elegante e frequentatissimo da clienti di colore. Il successo di questo locale però, infastidisce un boss mafioso.
