The titular agent goes to Hong Kong to investigate a drug ring. She finds out that it is being run from a casino owned by an American woman nicknamed the Dragon Lady. Jones's two assistants are made prisoners, and it's up to her and some Chinese sidekicks to rescue them and foil the plans of the evil Dragon Lady.
Action thriller with a conventional plot which rides on the martial arts wave in the West which was set off by Enter the Dragon two years earlier. The complete inadequacy of the main character's outer demeanor for an action hero is perhaps here enhanced relatively to the first movie for humorous purposes; thus, she is made to wear impossibly encumbering outfits, which she conveniently disrobes when some physical action is required. She then engages in the fights with the usual lethargy, and invariably wins. Her Chinese sidekicks, on the other hand, are agility incarnate. The final action sequence at the casino is quite well done.
