Police showed up at a brick duplex at 5306 Nevada Avenue, in the affluent Chevy Chase suburb of Washington. Inside were 151 Ibs. of marijuana, worth about $500,000, stashed in 16 boxes. No one was home, but someone planning a drug sale had been stripping the marijuana leaves and burning the relatively valueless stalks in the fireplace. Later, three men and two women, all in their 20s, who had been living in the rented duplex for about a month, surrendered.

...Nolte) and a jivey black con with the spirit of a peacock (Eddie Murphy of Saturday Night Live.) The former springs the latter from prison believing he can help trace a psychopathic former associate who has become a cop killer. There ensues a long, often well-staged but improbable chase through San Francisco. The sequence is enlivened by some reasonably well-written dialogue, as if Director Hill had revived The Odd Couple and told Felix and Oscar to go ahead and talk dirty if they want...
