One of the few all-black productions of the 1940s to garner attention in the white trade press, BEWARE is a vehicle for bandleader Louis Jordan, cast as a college alumnus named Lucius Brokenshire Jordan. Thanks to the economic duplicity of its benefactor's grandson, Jordan's alma mater runs out of money. When he learns about the college's plight, our hero not only stages an impromptu fund-raising show, but also "settles the hash" of the crooked grandson.
