Plot.

Petey Wheatstraw (Rudy Ray Moore) is a candidate to become the devil's son-in-law. The storyline is a scaffolding on which Rudy Ray Moore's standup humor can be unfolded. Beginning life as the afterbirth to a watermelon, the young Wheatstraw becomes a martial artist, but is unable to best the evil comedy team of Leroy and Skillet, who also indulge in wholesale murder. Satan restores the comedians' victims to life, and charges Petey with the task of marrying his clock-stoppingly ugly daughter to give him a grandchild. When Petey attempts to default on the deal, he is pursued by the devil's henchmen.

Wiki.

Petey Wheatstraw (also known as Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law) is a 1977 American blaxploitation comedy film written and directed by Cliff Roquemore, and starring comedian Rudy Ray Moore alongside Jimmy Lynch, Leroy Daniels, Ernest Mayhand, Ebony Wright, and Wildman Steve Gallon. It is typical of Moore's other films from the same era, such as Dolemite and The Human Tornado.

In the film, a successful nightclub comedian is murdered by jealous rivals. He is resurrected (along with his killed friends) through a literal deal with the Devil, having agreed to marry the Devil's daughter. He gains magic powers through a magic cane granted to him, and uses them to seek revenge. Wishing to renege on the deal, the comedian eventually attacks and kills the Devil. But he is shocked when confronted by the resurrected Devil in his car.
