Cotton Comes to Harlem is a 1970 film directed by Ossie Davis and based on a novel of the same name by Chester Himes. Two NYPD detectives, Gravedigger Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and Coffin Ed Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) investigate the robbery of $87,000 of savings from poor Harlem families, stolen during a "Back to Africa" fundraising drive held by conman Reverend Deke O'Malley (Calvin Lockhart). Hidden in a bale of cotton, the money changes hands numerous times as the detectives, O'Malley and the gang of thieves that stole the money fight over it. Cotton Comes to Harlem is notable as one of the earliest Blaxploitation films and spawned a sequel, 1972's Come Back, Charleston Blue.
