Synopsis from Distributor: Blaxploitation superstars Calvin Lockhart, Rosalind Cash, Vonetta McGee and Jim Kelly take on the mob in this super-charged, action-packed thriller. When Melinda Lewis (Vonetta McGee, Blacula) is found brutally murdered in his L.A. apartment, smooth-talking disk jockey Frankie J. Parker (Calvin Lockhart, The Beast Must Die) turns sleuth to clear his name. Chased and attacked by junkies, dealers and thugs, Frankie soon learns Melinda is the ex-mistress of a Chicago mobster and has evidence the gangster wants back. Enlisting the aid of a jealous ex-flame (Rosalind Cash, Tales from the Hood) and a karate master from the hood (Jim Kelly, Black Belt Jones), Frankie sets out to track down the mob boss who framed him and avenge Melinda's death. A box-office success on its original release, Melinda was one of the few Blaxploitation films produced, written and directed by African-Americans and boasts a fantastic funk score by R&B legend Jerry Butler and Grammy-winner Jerry Peters.
