On one of his bratty son Eric's annual visits, the plutocrat U.S. Bates takes him to his department store and offers him anything in it as a gift. Eric chooses a black janitor who has made him laugh with his antics. At first the man suffers many indignities as Eric's "toy", but gradually teaches the lonely boy what it is like to have and to be a friend.

If the Jack Brown character had been white, no one would have cared about how he was being treated and if this film was truly racist, Pryor wouldn't have agreed to do it, which does allow Jack to get the best of US Bates before the credits roll.
