Miss Robbie is the proprietor of Sweetie Pie's restaurant and she is a 71 year-old control freak. Miss Robbie runs the shop with an iron fist and she has her hand in on every aspect of the business. Her business partner is her son, Tim and they run both locations in St. Louis as well as trying to open a third location. Miss Robbie decides to take a week off to plan her own mega birthday party. Miss Robbie knows how to party big, from her days as one of the original "Ikette's" of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Everyone in town knows Miss Robbie and several hundred people show up to her parties. This party is going to be special because Miss Robbie is reuniting with several of the former "Ikettes". She has no idea about the surprise her son has in wait for her birthday party. While Miss Robbie took to the stage with her guests to sing from the Ike Turner revue, Tim slipped on stage in a Tina Turner wig and platform shoes. Tim wanted to dress like Tina Turner and run on stage but his rather large frame made it impossible to find a Tina Turner outfit. Tim had to settle for a bridge between Tina and Ike in one.
