She confronts her mother and is told she used a sperm bank after her husband's death, but asked for a smart black guy.

Zora's curiosity gets the better of her and she gets her best friend Tea Cake to go to the sperm bank and pretend to be a donor while she sneaks in to look at the records.

Zora gets into the computer and the records show her mother was matched with a Halbert Jackson and gives his social security number.

In his luxury mansion, Hal finishes a night of lovemaking with his young girlfriend Stacy before setting off to work.

Back in his mansion Hal gets emotional in regard to a father-daughter scene in a film on TV: Shirley Temple in The Little Princess.

News coverage of Hal and the elephant accidentally gives free publicity to his dealership and he has a sales bonanza on the following day.

When he goes back to the hospital a medic inadvertently reveals that a blood test shows that he cannot be Zora's father.

This was television star and Grammy Award-winning rapper Will Smith's second supporting role in a movie and started his successful career as a major film actor.

However, Roger Ebert praised Goldberg's acting in the film and said "This isn't a great movie, but it sure is a nice one.
