Jungle Fever: A Story of Love and Turmoil

The Beginning of an Affair

Successful Harlem architect Flipper Purify lives with his wife Drew, a buyer at Bloomingdale’s, and their young daughter, Ming. One day at his office, the Mast & Covington architecture firm in mid-town Manhattan, Flipper discovers that an Italian-American woman named Angela “Angie” Tucci from Bensonhurst has been hired as his temp secretary. Initially upset at being the only black person, he relents when senior partners Jerry and Leslie remind him that hiring is based on ability, not race.

Turbulent Relationships

After working several late nights together, Flipper and Angie have sex, beginning a tumultuous relationship. The next day, Flipper demands that Jerry and Leslie promote him to partner, but they deny his request, and he resigns, telling his employers that his ideas have made the firm very profitable. Eventually, he admits his infidelity to his longtime friend, Cyrus, who criticizes him not for his infidelity towards his wife, but for his affair with a white woman.

Consequences and Family Turmoil

Flipper attempts to reconcile with Drew at her workplace by bringing her flowers, but Drew declines, feeling he was only attracted to her for being half-white. He and Angie move into an apartment in Greenwich Village, where they encounter discrimination for being a mixed-race couple, such as insults from a waitress named LaShawn at a local restaurant, chastisement from The Good Reverend during the couple’s dinner with his parents, and financial issues.

Tragic Endings

Later, Flipper’s crack-addicted brother Gator steals and sells their mother’s TV for drugs. Soon afterwards, Gator returns to his parents’ house to ask for money and, after his mother refuses, begins ransacking the home. His erratic behavior ignites an altercation that ends tragically with The Good Reverend shooting him with a handgun. Meanwhile, Paulie’s racist Italian-American friends mock the end of his engagement, and he defies them by asking a friendly black woman named Orin Goode out on a date.
