- The film Herschell Gordon Lewis denied ever having made. A hardcore "sex education" film exposing the lovemaking habits of contemporary black couples in Chicago through a series of amusing and creative vignettes.
- A voice-over narrator introduces this film as an experimental sex film involving black people "making love" as a different sexual and psychological approach to sexual intercourse.
In the opening segment, a teenage African American couple at an urban playground are seen moving to their parked car and begin to have sex in the front seat... in broad daylight with another teenager passing by and briefly watching them.
In the next segment, a young black girl in an apartment gets up late at night to use the bathroom. When she is returning to her own bedroom, she hears noises coming from her parents bedroom in which she peaks in through the slightly open bedroom door and is both shocked and fascinated by the sight of her mother and father, whom were arguing and fighting only hours earlier, having sex with the man on top of the woman thrusting his body.
In the next segment, a young black woman is seen on the wooden steps in back of her apartment building reading a book when a young black man is passing by and views her long and slightly open legs to reveal her underwear. The narrator states that the youngster, upon seeing this, becomes aware of his own sexual prowess. The man makes a flirtatious comment to the woman who brushes him off.
Next, we see another young black girl, carrying a brown paper bag containing groceries, walking along a balcony of an urban apartment project when she becomes a voyeur herself when she sees an older black couple through their bedroom window having sex. The young girl giggles and is excited at what is going on as her curiosity increases.
In the next segment, a young black woman and a black man are seen bathed in a soft white light, while standing or crouching on a large turn-style. The light changes from white to red as the narrator states the symbolism of the black man and woman on the turntable until the man reaches for the woman who initially refuses his advances. Eventually when they stand together they are consumed by "black love."
The next segment is set in a local Chicago nightclub for blacks where a small group of various black people of different ages and sexes are dancing on the dance floor stage. As the narrator states that no black person is alike as each of the people featured have dark to light skin color shades to different hairstyles, tall and short heights, and different clothes ranging from traditional business to mod hip of the 1970s. The segment slowly changes where all of the dancers begin to appear in various stages of undress as the cross-cutting shows them initially fully clothed, to suddenly appearing in their underwear, and finally appearing with no clothes at all.
The next sequence features a young black woman at home reading a magazine where a black man enters and tries to entice her into foreplay as he is turned on by her appearance and clothing. The man tries to seduce the woman by dancing with her and getting her to undress. Just when they are about to have sex, the young woman's mother arrives and angrily chases the man out.
The narrator then introduces a slightly older 30-something black couple returning to their apartment after an evening out and begin to make love with gentile foreplay fondling, followed by both of them slowly undressing each other and walking into the bedroom where they make love starting with the man fingering the woman's vagina, followed by the woman foundling the man's long penis before the sex act of intercourse begins with the man on top in a missionary position, followed by the woman then on top of the man and "riding" him.
In the final segment, we are introduced to a middle-aged black couple in a living room where the woman is first seen sewing while the man is asleep next to her on the sofa. As the woman prepares for bed with putting on hair curlers in her Afro hairstyle, the husband becomes aroused by the appearance of the woman in her nightgown. Despite not getting along minutes earlier, the man and woman soon undress, get on the bed, and begin to make love first with them orally pleasuring each other with the man performing cunnilingus on the woman, followed by the woman performing fellatio on the man. The intercourse begins as the man climbs on top of the woman in a missionary position, while kissing and carousing each other. The woman then rides the man in a "cowboy" position before changing position into a "doggie" position. When they use all of their positions, the woman returns to orally pleasuring the man until he finally climaxes. They both turn off the bedroom lights and go to sleep for the night.
The film closes the with caption: THE END... has not been written for 'Black Love'. Only for this motion picture.
