Dieses Mal hat sie es auf einen gefährlichen Gangster abgesehen – den Heroin-König von Harlem – nachdem sie herausfand, dass dieser ihren Kampfsporttrainer erpresst und kurzerhand dessen minderjährige Tochter entführt hat. Gleichzeitig hat die Black Stiletto aber mit ganz eigenen Problemen zu kämpfen. Ein windiger Filmemacher droht, ihre geheime Identität zu lüften, ein enger Freund ihres Ziehvaters und Mentors scheint ein Handlanger der Ganoven aus Harlem zu sein, und darüber hinaus hat sie ihr Herz verloren; dummerweise an einen FBI-Agenten, der den Befehl hat, sie den Behörden zu überstellen. Und auch in der Gegenwart sieht sich Judys Sohn, Martin Talbot, ganz ähnlichen Wirrungen gegenüber. Offenbar ist er nicht der Einzige, der über eine Kopie jenes 8mm-Films verfügt, der am Ende zeigt, wie sich die Black Stiletto demaskiert ... und zu seiner Mutter wird. Die Kopie befindet sich im Besitz des Sohnes des Mannes, der in den Sechzigerjahren diesen Film drehte, und nun die Gelegenheit nutzen will, Profit aus dieser Sache zu schlagen. Doch Martin bekommt unverhoffte Hilfe, und wieder scheinen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart auf ein alles entscheidendes Finale hinzusteuern. "Auch der zweite Teil der Black Stiletto Serie macht einfach nur verdammt viel Spaß. Wieder wechselt die Story zwischen der jungen, furchtlosen Judy und den rührenden Versuchen ihres Sohnes in der Gegenwart, seine Mutter vor einer medialen Schlammschlacht zu bewahren, hin und her.
