The film draws inspiration from Batman, in that the superhero Black Scorpion is a vigilante with no actual superpowers.

Darcy Walker (played by Joan Severance) is a police detective with an alter ego called Black Scorpion, who fights crime at night. In addition to impressive martial arts skills, she is also equipped with a range of technological inventions and a special car.

Her detective partner, Michael Russo (played by Bruce Abbott) is unaware of her secret identity. The only person who knows who she is at night is a car thief-turned-tech nerd named Argyle (played by Garrett Morris).
