The action moves to Hong Kong for this sequel, where Tamara Dobson is Cleopatra Jones, an American secret agent looking for a drug ring. She follows a couple of inept drug dealers who have been kidnapped by the Dragon Lady, Stella Stevens. Her elaborate casino serves as a cover for her undercover drug operation. Cleopatra and her new side kick, Chinese actress Ni Tien, use their martial arts and fighting skills to defeat Stevens and her hooligans. Instead of a blaxploitation flick it succumbs to the usual guns and explosions of a routine Hollywood action flick, and suffers from it. Dobson, in heavy make up and elaborate costumes, fails to cover up her lack of acting skills.
