Film Description
|
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.
