Sheba, Baby (1975)

Private Detective Sheba Shayne (Pam Grier) answers the call to help out her father, a loan company owner who's getting leaned on by rich heavies who want his honest business permanently closed. Armed with a pistol and a pair of ass-kicking boots Sheba goes in blazing, to do what the police won't.
It's Pam in another tough-talking Blaxploitation flick, doing what she did in most of the others that are named after the title lady. With more outfit changes than necessary, she once again looks the part.
The biggest flaw is the editing, which, if tightened, could've helped patch over the lazy timing and acting, and may even have heightened the weak finale.
My favourite part was perhaps Christopher Joy as Walker, the comedy houndstooth-suited, feather-in-the-hat wearing street hustler.
