Detective Rita Rizzoli (Goldberg) is an undercover crusading narcotics police officer who stages an undercover buy with drug dealer Tito Delgadillo, when during the bust she sees her friend and informant Charlene, who is also a prostitute being dragged out of the bar by her pimp and runs to her aid, alerting Delgadillo of being an undercover cop. After saving Charlene and shooting the pimp Rizzoli notices all the money used for the buy is missing along with Delgadillo who retreats to a warehouse in Los Angeles, where a family of Asian immigrants is preparing plastic envelopes of imported cocaine stamped with the gang’s brand name “Fatal Beauty”. One worker, however, has been sampling too much of the drug and in his intoxicated state, prepares envelopes with a fatally high concentration of cocaine and a misaligned stamp. Delgadillo discovers the error but before they can correct it, the house is attacked by two small-time hoods, Leo Nova and Earl Skinner (Brad Dourif and Mark Pellegrino) who kill everyone within including Delgadillo and steal the lethal product.

Rizzoli begins following the trail of bodies left by the killer cocaine, finding the crooked-stamped “Fatal Beauty” envelopes. She attracts the attention of Mike Marshak (Elliott), a security agent working for Rizzoli’s prime suspect, businessman Conrad Kroll and a romance develops. Their love scene was controversially abbreviated in the North American release, due to the racial taboo at the time. Read more
