Plot
The story begins with two government agents, Matthew Johnson and Melvin Johnson, being captured by the "Dragon Lady" (Stella Stevens). Cleopatra Jones then travels to Hong Kong to rescue the agents.

Reception
The film was not as well received as its predecessor Cleopatra Jones, mainly due to the decline in the popularity of the blaxploitation genre.
The film was released on DVD by Warner Brothers as part of its Warner Archive Collection in 2010.
