The Story
Ranny Williams

Johnny Reggae

Mr. Nuffus wants only the best for his daughter Princess. He wants her to be a cultured young lady, loving only fine things. Princess has her own ideas, she likes to dance at the discos and moreso, to reggae music. But the biggest problem between herself and her father is her love for Johnny an aspiring reggae singer.

Mr Nuffus in his alter ego of Baldhead goes out of his way to keep the lovers apart. He offers Johnny a contract which he gladly takes up. While on tour, Baldhead sends along Cutie hoping to distract Johnny. But love conquers all and Johnny with the help of his mother Miss Inez are able to set things right.
