Darcy Walker is a police detective in Angel City, a fictionalized version of Los Angeles. Her secret identity is the Black Scorpion, a comic book style vigilante. The Black Scorpion does not have any super powers but, like Batman, she fights for justice using a combination of martial arts and advanced technology, including her high-tech car, the Scorpionmobile. The film's exaggerated characters and unrealistic events are portrayed with a humorous camp aesthetic.

Darcy Walker (Joan Severance), returns as the Black Scorpion whilst the City of Angels is in the midst of a crime wave. When a series of earthquakes shake up the major metropolitan area, Prof. Undershaft (Sherrie Rose) had pioneered groundbreaking technology made to prevent such disasters in the future. But the duplicitous and corrupt Mayor Worth (Matt Roe) had her life's work sabotaged in order to embezzle tremor insurance.
