Plot

Approximately two years after the original film, Captain (formerly Lieutenant) Bogomil (Ronny Cox), Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and John Taggart (John Ashton) are trying to figure out who is behind the "Alphabet Crimes", a series of mostly high end store robberies distinctive by their monogrammed envelopes with an alphabetical sequence the assailants leave behind. Complicating matters is the new "political" state of the Beverly Hills police, headed by temperamental new police chief Harold Lutz (Allen Garfield), doing everything he can to stay on the Mayor's good side. Unimpressed when Rosewood calls the FBI to help solve the case, he holds Bogomil responsible as commanding officer and suspends him.

On the way home, Bogomil is shot by Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen), the chief henchwoman of Maxwell Dent (Jürgen Prochnow). Finding out about the shooting over a news report, Axel (Murphy) immediately drives out to Beverly Hills (covering his absence from his actual job in Detroit by telling his commanding officer he was going "deep deep deep DEEP undercover" on the credit card fraud case he had been assigned to) to help find out who shot Bogomil. Posing as an undercover FBI agent to get past Lutz, Axel soon starts making the connection between the robberies and Dent, who is robbing his own businesses to finance firearms deals. Bogomil was shot due to being on the right track with his investigation into the case. Having foiled a robbery attempt at a bank depository, Axel soon uncovers that Dent is planning on making his getaway. Axel, Billy and Taggert track Dent to where he's making his final arms deal and take everyone down, including Dent and Karla. Although Lutz tries to fire them for their insubordination after arriving at the scene, Billy and Taggert are able to convince the Mayor that they had to work covertly or Lutz would have interfered with their bust if he had been aware of their activities, which the Mayor agreed to fire Lutz because he was tired of his abusive attitude after witnessing Lutzs' actions towards his men earlier. At the end of the film Bogomil is chosen to replace Lutz as the new Chief of Police, and Axel returns back to Detroit.
