Miss Jones is a gorgeous black amazon fighting for truth, justice and the American way - she's a fed. After she burns down a Turkish opium poppy field drug lord Mommy, a leather-clad dyke running downtown gangland, wants her dead. Meanwhile Doodlebug (Huggy from Starsky) wants independence for Afros, flares, platforms et al. High-kick-karate cartoon-style camp fun.
