A pert young journalist, Dolly, warns her beau that his partner Badar Munir has been framed by the notorious crime Don Lady Boss and is in prison awaiting the gallows. The sidekick friend who is a master of disguise decides to spring his buddy out of prison and once that is achieved, they vow to destroy the evil Lady Boss once and for all. They begin their quest by disguising themselves as hippies and frequenting the local night clubs where they encounter the bewitching curves of Mussy Shaheen and friends. They also discover the secret hideout of the crime king pin who goes by the name of Black Cat.

CLIP ON THE ABOVE CLIP TO WATCH THE SPARKING LADY IN ACTION

The two intrepid young undercover cops plant bugging devices in strategic places in Black Cat's underground lair and also steal a very important map detailing the criminal's underground network and current schemes for world domination. While Badar collects the stash, unknown to him one of Black Cat's futuristic monitoring devices alerts the militia - fortunately the two heroes make good their escape due to some hair rising stunts. After an exhilarating car chase, Badar and friend manage to get away as the timely intervention of a railway train delays Black Cat's henchmen. Meanwhile the focus returns to the pretty and fiercely devoted young lady journalist and her boyfriend (Badar's partner) who proceed to set the screen alight with a glorious synchronized dance in the local gardens with several tantalizing costume changes along the way.

Then the action switches to Black Cat's secret dungeons where Agent 339 (Naghma), a top agent in the Black Cat crime syndicate, ruthlessly shoots dead the henchmen who failed to apprehend Badar. Having shot them in cold blood she has their bodies thrown into the nearby gutter. Moments later Agent 339, also known as Lady Boss who is also known as The Sparking Lady is summoned by a flashing red bulb and an irritating buzzer which indicate that the Supreme Leader Black Cat is about to issue a command to his loyal subjects. "Sparking Lady 339, come on the Line" booms through the speaker systems as The Black Cat summons his chief disciple, Lady Boss Naghma to blast her for the failure of the henchmen. Black Cat, wearing his trademark Black Cat-suit, is seriously pissed off that Badar and friend were allowed to get away with the secret map. He is only slightly appeased when he hears of the thousands of deaths caused by the company's latest lethal biological gas. Black Cat issues #339 Sparking Lady details of their next heist but unknown to them Badar and friend are listening in through the bugs the had placed and they intercept Black Cat's consignment of diamonds worth billions. Lady Boss and Black Cat are not amused - Lady Boss demands her diamonds "By hook and crook".

Another scheme to poison some potential business partners goes terribly awry as the nosey journalist sabotages the plan. Black Cat is enraged at Lady Boss's failure and in a petulant fit of rage demands the destruction of the entire nation. Then he informs 339 that he intends on taking a break visiting friends abroad! Meanwhile Lady Boss recruits rabble-rouser Shahid for the gang and assigns him the task of finding Badar, the man who has been the cause of so much trauma. Finally the Lady Boss discovers the bugging devices and having destroyed them, she eventually manages to capture Badar's partner and has him brainwashed teaching him that Badar is not his friend but a sworn enemy to be killed upon the first opportunity that presents itself. Thrown into the this mix of bizarre events and characters is the elderly and saintly Lady Rahat who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Lady Boss, but who is such a kind, good doing old lady that everyone thinks the world of her.

Bizarre events unfold including rape attempts, nefarious brainwashing experiments, evil Playboy Bunnies on the rampage, counterfeit rackets, stunning car stunts and special effects, human cloning and much, much worse. Events lead to a most shocking climax with a mind-blowing revelation. The film is a z-grade budget sub-Bond genre gas from beginning to end. It's sublimely cheap and horribly inept which only goes to enhance its cult and charm value. The plot is so ridiculous that it borders on genius and the acting is abominable at best. Naghma is superb as the brutal SS Fraulein like #339 AKA Sparking Lady AKA Lady Boss AKA Lady Rahat and who knows how many persona's and personalities she has. The burning question that drives the film is who the dreaded Black Cat is - the cat that brings horrors to anyone who crosses it? Could it be the benign Lady Rahat, preposterous a notion though it may seem?

It's a truly horrendous film, but so dreadful and inept that it is actually a bit of a riot. Beware world; a new cult classic might well have been unearthed in the form of this majestic slice of mind-altering crap. What further elevates the film even further above the mundane are its utterly dubious credentials. The film was shot during the peak sleazy years of the mid 70's but unfortunately for the producers; the democratic government was overthrown and replaced with a pseudo-fundo military regime that (overtly) purged society of all 'obscenity' and thus the film was no doubt rather compromised in order to get through the new hard-line censors.

Black Cat was released in 1977 and sank without much of a trace leaving theatres within days of its arrival. Years passed, eleven of them before General Zia was killed in a plane crash and months later the country was returned to democracy. The producers of this marvellously rotten film decided to try to have a second bite at the cherry as it were by resubmitting their film for censorship but giving it a new name: Lady Boss. So the film that was a decade old was repackaged and renamed and brought into cinemas in 1988 as a new film called Lady Boss. Though one has to admire the audacity and the lack of scruples on the part of the producers, alas their ingenuity failed miserably and the film was a stupendous flop all over again! No doubt the film proved too sophisticated a product for largely uneducated and ignorant cinema going audiences. We found it to be vintage tripe!
