When his partner Queen Bee visits him, she informs him that the streets have fallen into chaos under the control of his rival, Willie Green. The authorities, aware of Dolemite's potential to set things right, offer him a deal: his freedom in exchange for taking down Willie Green and his corrupt police allies.
