When a black female super-spy destroys a crop of high-grade poppies meant for the heroin trade, the evil Mommy vows revenge!  She orders a halfway house for recovering urban youths raided by corrupt racist cops.  They plant drugs on a patient and he's arrested. Now, it's up to Cleopatra Jones to expose Mommy before a race war starts! Film aficionado Patrick Falvey joins me as we talk about the under-appreciated blaxploitation classic, 1973's CLEOPATRA JONES!
