A pure action tale with a comic book flavor, this sequel to the hit Black Caesar downplays the gritty drama of that film. The story begins when an assassination attempt plotted by crooked District Attorney DiAngelo (Gerald Gordon) fails. With the help of his estranged father Papa Gibbs (Julius Harris), crime lord Tommy Gibbs (Fred Williamson) escapes badly wounded. Papa joins his son's criminal organization in an attempt to fight back when DiAngelo's thugs try to kill him. This move doesn’t go over well with Gibb's top henchman Zach (Tony King) though. Zach with the help of DiAngelo, secretly plots against Tommy and Papa as they build up their criminal empire. He also pins the murder of Helen (Gloria Hendry), Tommy's traitorous ex-wife, on Papa in an attempt to drive a wedge between them. Papa takes over when Tommy gives up his New York crime operation and runs off to California. After Zach kills Papa in a fist fight Tommy returns to settle the score with him and DiAngelo.
