Plot

Black Sister's Revenge is about a teen moving from a small Southern town in Mississippi to live with her family in Los Angeles. When Emma Mae (Jerri Hayes) first moves to Los Angeles, she's introduced to Jessie Amos (Ernest Williams III) with whom she instantly falls in love. Jessie and Zeke (Charles David Brooks III) are eventually locked up for assaulting an officer. When Jessie and Zeke go to jail, Emma Mae starts a car wash to raise money for bail. When that fails, she plots a bank robbery to get the cash for his bail. She later finds out that he doesn't love her and used her, leading to Emma Mae's dramatic fight scene, beating Jessie senseless and her final speech about how stupid the group was, still having gang wars.
