The film continues the story from the original movie's conclusion. The Poseidon is still afloat, and the six survivors of Reverend Scott's team have been rescued. After sailing through rough seas, a tugboat captain, Mike Turner (Michael Caine), discovers the capsized wreck of the ship. Accompanied by second mate Wilbur (Karl Malden) and passenger Celeste Whitman (Sally Field), he heads out to claim salvage rights on it, as the tugboat 'S.S. Jenny' lost her cargo in the same storm that capsized it. They are soon followed by Dr. Stefan Svevo (Telly Savalas) and his crew; Kurt (Paul Picerni), Doyle (Patrick Culliton), and Castrop (Dean Raphael Ferrandini) who claim to be Greek Orthodox medics who received the ship's SOS. The seven of them board the doomed vessel and soon become trapped after the corridor entrance to the cut-out hole collapses. The group with Turner also encounters more survivors; the ship's nurse, Gina Rowe (Shirley Jones), a wealthy passenger named Suzanne Constantine (Veronica Hamel), and war veteran Frank Mezzetti (Peter Boyle) who is searching for his missing teenage daughter Theresa (Angela Cartwright), which they soon find along with the elevator operator Larry Simpson (Mark Harmon) and as well as a brash "billionaire" named "Tex" (Slim Pickens). Later they find two more surviving passengers; the blind retiree Harold Meredith (Jack Warden) and his wife Hannah (Shirley Knight), who were waiting for rescue. Water continues to submerge more decks and more explosions occur. Turner and his group find the purser's office, where Svevo decides that he and his men will continue their search for other survivors. Turner agrees and Svevo and his men leave in another direction. Another explosion causes the safe in the purser's office to fall through the floor and open, revealing gold coins (each one worth 100 times its weight in gold) as well as cash and diamonds. Turner and Wilbur excitedly gather it and start looking for another way out of the ship. Unknown to Turner and the survivors, Suzanne was actually working with Svevo and sneaked a list containing information about a cargo of crates from the purser's office. She gives it to Svevo, but decides that she doesn't want to go through with his plan anymore. Svevo apologizes and orders Doyle to kill Suzanne. He shoots her, but she strikes him with an axe before she dies. After climbing up a few decks, Turner and his group find Svevo and his men gathering a cargo of plutonium. Svevo reveals that his real intention of boarding the Poseidon was to retrieve his lost shipment of plutonium to sell on the black market, adding that he can't let Turner and his group go now. However, before they can kill Turner and his group, another explosion occurs, allowing them to escape through another cargo room full of cars, where Frank and another one of Svevo's men is killed during the shootout. Water floods the deck as Turner's group proceed to up to the next deck through a flooding elevator shaft, but Hannah falls into the rising water and drowns, while Turner loses his salvaged diamonds. Svevo and his one remaining henchman head back up to the ship's stern and make it out, where the rest of Svevo's team aboard his salvage boat cut another hole in the Poseidon's hull and attempt raise the plutonium crates from the cargo hold using a crane up to the hull of the ship, which is still above water but is slowly sinking. In another section of the ship, Turner and the survivors exit the ship through an underwater side door, but due to shortage of scuba tanks, Wilbur (unknown to Turner and his group) sacrifices himself by swimming underwater and disappearing. Turner and Celeste swim to the tugboat Jenny and move it closer to the Poseidon as the remaining survivors swim towards it. Svevo's men see them and open fire and kill Tex, who willingly holds onto a bottle of champagne as he goes down. Turner's group makes it to his boat and they sail away. Water continues to flood the Poseidon and cause the on-board boilers to explode, which causes the cargo of plutonium to also do so. The Poseidon completely explodes, killing Svevo and his men. On board Turner's boat, Turner accepts that his tugboat S.S. Jenny will be taken from him when they get to port, but Celeste reveals a diamond that she salvaged from the Poseidon. Celeste asks Turner, "Are you going to kiss me now?" and Turner replies, "I was going to kiss you anyway." They kiss and the tugboat Jenny sails away into the sunset with the survivors Gina, Theresa, Larry, and Harold.

James Bond (George Lazenby)-agent 007 saves a woman on the beach from committing suicide by drowning, and later meets her again in a casino. The woman, Contessa Teresa "Tracy" Di Vicenzo (Dame Diana Rigg), invites Bond to her hotel room to thank him, but when Bond arrives he is attacked by an unidentified man. After subduing the man, Bond returns to his own room and finds Tracy there, who claims she did not know the attacker was there. The next morning, Bond is kidnapped by several men, including the one he fought, who take him to meet Marc-Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti), the head of the European crime syndicate Unione Corse. Draco reveals that Tracy is his only daughter and tells Bond of her troubled past (she was the only child, and Draco had to send her away to Switzerland after her mother died, for education as he was always pursued by the police. without supervision, she became rebellious and began doing things just to spite Draco), offering Bond one million pounds if he will marry her (he wants Tracy to have a home that he himself could never provide). Bond refuses, but agrees to continue romancing Tracy if Draco reveals the whereabouts of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), the head of SPECTRE, whom Bond has not been able to find in two years. Bond returns to London, and after a brief argument with M (Bernard Lee) at the British Secret Service headquarters (M is cross with Bond for wasting two years in trying to chase down Blofeld), where Bond tries to resign (instead Moneypenny changes his request to two weeks of leave, which M grants), heads for Draco's birthday party in Portugal. There, Bond and Tracy begin a whirlwind romance (Tracy was pissed with Draco and made Draco give the link to Blofled to Bond, so that Bond only came to her for her, and not for the information), and Draco directs the agent to a law firm in Bern, Switzerland. Bond investigates the office of Swiss lawyer Gumbold (James Bree), and learns that Blofeld is corresponding with London College of Arms genealogist Sir Hilary Bray (George Baker), attempting to claim the title 'Count Balthazar De Bleuchamp.' Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell), M's secretary. Posing as Bray (after letting the real Bray know that this is a matter of national importance), Bond goes to meet Blofeld, who has established a clinical allergy-research institute atop Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps. Bond meets 12 young women, the "Angels of Death," who are patients at the institute's clinic, apparently cured of their allergies. The girls hit on Bond en-mass and one of them "Ruby" writes her room number on his thigh, underneath the tables. Ruby Bartlett (Angela Scoular), an English girl at the clinic suffering from an allergy to chickens, whom Bond seduces. Nancy (Catherine Schell), a Hungarian girl at the clinic whom Bond also beds. Scandinavian girl (Julie Ege). Chinese girl (Mona Chong). Jamaican girl (Sylvana Henriques). American girl (Dani Sheridan). English girl (Joanna Lumley). Indian girl (Zaheera). Australian girl (Anouska Hempel). German girl (Ingrid Back). Israeli girl (Helena Ronee). Irish girl (Jenny Hanley). At night, Bond goes to the room of one patient, Ruby, to seduce her. At midnight, Bond sees that the 12 ladies go into a sleep-induced hypnotic state while Blofeld gives them audio instructions for when they return home. In fact, the women are being brainwashed to distribute bacteriological warfare agents throughout the world. Piz Gloria is built on top of a mountain with no access roads of any kind. The only way in and out is a rope-way, which is heavily guarded. Bond tries to trick Blofeld into leaving Switzerland (into Germany, on pretext of confirming some facts about his past) so that MI6 can arrest him without violating Swiss sovereignty. Blofeld refuses and Bond is eventually caught by his loyalist Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) when he visits Ruby's room again the following night. Blofeld reveals that he identified Bond after his attempt to lure him out of Switzerland, and tells his henchmen to take the agent away and lock him in the machinery room for the rope-way. Bond eventually makes his escape from the rope-way room and enters the main room of the Piz Gloria. Bond find that Blofeld had hypnotized the 12 girls and had handed them a vanity case each. The case had a communicator and a bottle of the engineered virus which he would tell the girls when to use and how. As the girls board the rope-way to be sent back home, Bond skis down Piz Gloria while Blofeld and his men give chase. Arriving at the village of Lauterbrunnen, Bond finds Tracy purely by chance, and they escape Bunt and her men after a car chase (going through a car rally competition as well). A blizzard forces them to a remote barn, where Bond professes his love to Tracy and proposes marriage to her, which she happily accepts. The next morning, as the chase continues, Blofeld sets off an avalanche; Tracy is captured, while Bond is buried but manages to escape. Back in London at M's office, Bond is informed that Blofeld intends to hold the world at ransom by threatening to destroy its agriculture using his brainwashed women, demanding amnesty for all past crimes, and that he be recognized as the current Count De Bleuchamp. M tells 007 that the ransom will be paid and forbids him to mount a rescue mission for Tracy. Bond then enlists Draco and his forces to attack Blofeld's headquarters, while also rescuing Tracy from Blofeld's captivity. The facility is destroyed, and Blofeld escapes the destruction alone in a bobsleigh, with Bond pursuing him. The chase ends when Blofeld becomes snared in a tree branch and injures his neck. Bond and Tracy marry in Portugal, then drive away in Bond's Aston Martin. When Bond pulls over to the roadside to remove flowers from the car, Blofeld (wearing a neck brace) and Bunt commit a drive-by shooting of the couple's car. Bond survives, but Tracy is killed by a head-shot in the attack. Bond cries while cradling her lifeless body.
