In the early 1970s, Black Dynamite (BD) (Michael Jai White), a Vietnam War veteran and former CIA officer, skilled in Kung Fu, vows to clean up the streets of drug dealers and gangsters after his younger brother Jimmy (Baron Vaughn) is killed by a shady organization. BD had promised his mother (Cheryl Carter) on her death bed to take care of Jimmy, and he failed in that promise.Jimmy was one of the 3 African American distributors of heroine taking orders from an unknown entity. But Jimmy was identified as a snitched and brutally killed.Honeybee (Kym Whitley) is a madame for a brothel under the protection of BD. The brothel acts as a source of information for BD. Honeybee tells BD that young kids are overdoing on heroin on the streets and wants his help.

O'Leary (Kevin Chapman), BD's former army and CIA partner, reinstates him into the agency because they do not want him seeking vengeance by himself. BD still has nightmares about his participation in the Vietnam war where he left a trail of dead Vietnamese behind. He questions the morality of his own actions which led to the deaths of innocent women and children.

BD also discovers the shady organization is filling the African American orphanages with heroin. Gloria (Salli Richardson) is an African American Power activist who works at the local orphanage. Gloria wants the people to elect officials who work for the Upliftment of African American folks, and she believes the Congressman James is not one of them.She says that James took away all the drug awareness programs from the district and replaced them with ads for Anaconda Malt Liqour.

From Bullhorn and Cream Corn, BD learns that Jimmy was hanging out with mean gangster named Chicago Wind (Mykelti Williamson). Chicago Wind says that he would have killed Kimmy himself, but someone else beat him to it. BD engages Chicago Wind's whole entourage in Kung Fu and beats them. Chicago Wind tries to escape and it killed when he drives off a cliff.Chicago Wind was Rafelli's (Mike Starr) best dealer and he wants BD dead. BD meets Shaheed and his gang of militants. Shaheed tells BD that the bullet that killed Jimmy was a rare caliber and was strictly government issue.BD is told by O'Leary that his brother was actually working undercover for the CIA. O'Leary says that at the time of his death Jimmy was investigating Rafelli.Rafelli is told that BD is hunting for him, and he sends a hit squad after BD. BD manages to kill them but is injured in the process.

Gloria and BD are attacked repeatedly by Rafelli's hit squads, but BD manages to save Gloria. BD leaves Gloria with Honeybee for safety.BD meets the heads of all drug distributors in the city and tells them to stop supplying drugs in the African American community. The distributors like Mo Bitches (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.), Kotex (John Salley) and Jack "Back Hand Jack" (Bokeem Woodbine) flatly refuses. BD declares war on local drug dealers and successfully cleans up the streets, earning him the affection of Gloria. Rafelli is also killed.

After discovering the government's involvement in the drug ring, BD steals the ledger belonging to corrupt Congressman James (Tucker Smallwood) which details illegal shipments to a warehouse.BD and his team (consisting of close friend Bullhorn (Byron Minns), street hustler Cream Corn (Tommy Davidson), militant leader Saheed (Phil Morris), and three militants) storm the warehouse to capture a big shipment. They learn of a top-secret operation called "Code Kansas", but there are no drugs in the warehouse.They find only "Anaconda" brand malt liquor, a government-produced brand that, according to the advertising slogan, "Gives You Ooooooo!".

In a diner, they decipher the slogan and uncover "Code Kansas" as a plan to literally emasculate African-American men through Anaconda Malt Liquor, which is formulated to "give (you) a little penis". The militant Gunsmoke (Buddy Lewis), who has fallen victim to the liquor's effect, is killed to put him out of his misery.Returning to the warehouse, BD finds O'Leary is part of the evil plan but is just following orders. He kills O'Leary before acquiring his next lead to find the source of the "Code Kansas" plan.

BD heads to Kung Fu Island, where he discovers that his old nemesis, Fiendish Dr. Wu (Roger Yuan), is responsible for creating the secret formula found in Anaconda Malt Liquor. In a protracted battle which kills Saheed, the three militants, and Bullhorn, BD discovers the true identity of the mastermind of the entire operation - the White House.

BD then travels to the White House (in the process, Cream Corn is killed by the Secret Service) and confronts President Richard Nixon (James McManus), who has been giving the orders from the beginning. BD engages Nixon in a Kung-Fu battle.Nixon gets the upper hand when he dishonestly pulls John Wilkes Booth's gun, but the ghost of Abraham Lincoln (Pete Antico) appears and disarms Nixon with Kung-Fu. After defeating Nixon in a fair fight, BD threatens to expose Nixon as the subject of a series of bondage and cross-dressing photographs.

The president begs to be killed but BD refuses to give him "the easy way out" and has Nixon watch out for his people. The film concludes with a monologue from BD on his quest for justice as Gloria and Pat Nixon (Nicole Sullivan) watch on rapturously.
