In one obnoxious sequence, a plump, leering bawd inducts the boy Guido (Cameron Johann) and three of his classmates into the rites of sex to the beat of tambourines and the priapic chant Be Italian, Intermittently spotlighted during the show is a quartet of women dubbed "The Germans," who would have been called "The Beef Trust" in vaudeville, a gross physical mockery...

This sorry situation is brought to Shaft's attention in an unlikely manner: a large black fellow with a big stick chases the startled detective around his Greenwich Village apartment, brains him and bears him off to the suburban residence of an African diplomat, where he is tested, cajoled and finally hired to hunt down the slavers...
