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 Jesse Amos (Ernest Williams III), with whom she instantly falls in love. Jesse and Zeke (Charles David Brooks III) are eventually locked up for assaulting an officer.

When Jesse 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 Jesse senseless and her final speech about how stupid she and the group were, still having gang wars and following behind Jesse. While a beaten Jesse is carried back into the house, Emma Mae walks home with her cousins.
