synopsis
It's "Rashomon" time when the couch in the Evans living room catches fire. Under the baleful glare of Willona (Ja'net DuBois), each of the Evans kids -- J.J. (Jimmie Walker), Thelma (BernNadette Stanis), and Michael (Ralph Carter) -- has a different story as to what caused the conflagration. But only Willona's adopted daughter, Penny (Janet Jackson), knows the whole truth.
