Driving home in the night, Hubert is surprised to see a mysterious light hovering over his car. Scared, he pulls up in his driveway and sees the light beaming down on his garden, irradiating it. Through this light the Prime Matter People direct Hubert to eat a midnight meal of collards cooked with greasy ham hocks whereby he is given supernatural powers enabling him to become invisible or the man or monster of choice, a black or white skeleton. ‘Borrowing’ from an armored truck so he can fight crime from a Harlem town house, he applies his powers for good, mischievously.
