In Jamaa Fanaka's second feature, Emma Mae arrives in Los Angeles from Mississippi replete with rough edges and an exceptional ability to kick ass. Emma Mae's plain looks and shy demeanor set her apart from super mama heroines of this "Blaxploitation" era (e.g. Foxy Brown, Cleopatra Jones). But when folks underestimate her, Emma Mae surprises everyone (including her no-good boyfriend Jesse) with her extraordinary physical and emotional strength.
