A college professor named Clifford Skridlow (Dan Aykroyd goes undercover as a Chicago pimp disguised by a bushy wig in this comedy from director Michael Pressman. When Smooth Walker (Howard Hesseman gets hunted by his gangster rival, Mom (Kate Murtagh), he foists his bevy of hookers on the professor.
