They get jobs at Cleo McDowell's (John Amos) food emporium, and romance blossoms between Akeem and Cleo's daughter Lisa (Shari Headley). But now, Akeem's parents (James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair) arrive on the scene prepared to take Akeem home to Africa. Eddie and Arsenio take on several other roles in addition to their primary ones. Good fun.
