Clifford Skridlow (Dan Ackroyd)is a professor of medieval literature at a small Chicago college when he is conned into becoming a pimp by a real pimp who wants to leave town to escape the wrath of the terrifying gang boss known as 'Mom'. Professor Skridlow, AKA Doctor Detroit, will need all of his considerable knowledge of literature, and more than his limited knowledge of the criminal underworld, to survive the big Player's Ball, where all the gangsters will be watching him.
