"Joan Wilder is called by an Arab dignitary who brings her to her house to write a book about his life, and as time goes by, he is revealed as a no good person. The film ups the tempo, but paradoxically ends up being even less exciting than its predecessor, Romancing the Stone, even unnecessarily revealing the characters as less appealing and almost radically different from their more attractive and interesting versions of the previous film."
