They arrive in a village and their leader Tanin is looking for Pho Tao, who could guide them to the mysterious city of women (เมืองลับแล). Another group is following them a few hours behind. They are looking for a treasure (สมบัติ). While entering deep in the forest, they are attacked by men using spades and spikes. Their leader is Ah Mooyan (Chaiyan Sorakrai). A group of amazons helps them. They should have been killed for trespassing here but as they helped one amazon attacked by the men, their lives are spared. Some amazons start to quarrel as one of them called Vivian (วิเวียน ระวี) is fond of Tanin so she is accused to abandon the Amazon queen (เจ้าแม่). Some men are protecting the kingdom and cannot enter where the amazons are living. The second group lies about the first group’s intention and unites with Ah Mooyan to grab the treasure. Ah Mooyan wishes to keep Vivian for him. The first group is attacked by a bunch of strong men and they are all captured. Despite a fierce resistance, Panna is left as dead. Vivian succeeds to release them by claiming the Amazon queen wishes to meet them. Then they are just attacked by the second group and Ah Mooyan's men but succeed to flee. Vivian and Tanin become lovers. Tanin and Panna are captured by Ah Mooyan and his men. Vivian comes to help with her amazons. Bloody and fierceful fightings happen between the amazons, Ah Mooyan's soldiers and Tanin's team. Ah Mooyan is finally defeated and killed. The second group attacks the Amazon Queen and uses a mystical statue able to send deadly laser shots. All ruffians are killed but the kingdom is almost destroyed as the Amazon queen and most of the amazons are dead. Her younger sister asks Vivian to follow her life and to go with Tanin. Part of the movie is probably cut to fit in a commercial VCD. This movie reminds a bit of movie แม่งู (1972) with similar amazons.

It is the last time he wants to be involved in such killing. With his brother Porn (พล), they take care of their old father. There is a land title issue so Phet needs money. Phet shots successfully Kamrung. He sees Sophi, Kamrung's mistress, and falls for her. Kamrung's daughter Yuwadee (ยุวดี) wishes to know the truth about her father’s death. The heritage needs to be shared between Sophi and the daughter. Porn, who is a journalist, helps her to investigate on the truth but a mysterious hitman tries to kill Yuwadee. Porn is able to help and save Yuwadee. It looks like Sophi would be the main beneficiary regarding Kamrung's death. Phet visits Sophi at nighttime. Heritage decision gives the house and land to Yuwadee but Sophi can stay until Yuwadee is married. The money and jewels have disappeared from the safe. The lawyer is corrupted by Sophi. Some ruffians put pressure on the newspaper editor to push Porn to stop investigating. Sia is the leader of the ruffians linked to Sophi. Sia hires Phet to kill his brother. Phet cannot do that and finally only the editor is shot in order to scare away Porn. Porn now knows his brother is involved. Sia sends ruffians to kill Phet as he cannot be trusted anymore but they fail. Sia's ruffians now try to kill Porn to stop the investigation. While rescuing his father, Porn is ambushed (วันนี้ตายแน่) but rescued by Phet. Sophi suggests to kidnap Yuwadee to catch the two brothers. Sophi plays men vs men (lawyer, Phet, Sia) using her charms. Porn needs Phet, the hitman, to testimony as a witness in order to accuse Sia. Yuwadee kidnapping fails thanks to Porn. The two brothers finally fight when they meet. Bad people pay for their sins as Sophi is shot by Sia and Sia is shot by Phet. There is a final duel between the two brothers and their father. Phet refuses to surrender to the police (ทำผิดต้องรับผิดชอบ) and prefers to die. Sorapong Chatree seldom plays the bad guy so it is interesting to watch this small low cost budget movie with a “Brother vs Brother” scenario, i.e. the good guy vs the bad guy even if Phet is only a bad guy forced by life circumstances (น้องมือปืน).

Every time Chatom tries to sell the weapons, police is aware. Chatom suspects Chat to inform Chayo. Chatom resurrects Seua Sing (from Chom Phae part 1) as his twin brother to try to kill Police Officer Chayo. Chatom's ruffians try to sell weapons to neighbouring guerrilla (คนเลวชาติ) in the jungle but Saen's team led by Surin fights back. Chatom ruffians kidnap Surin to know who is the spy inside their team. Hopefully Yot helps to release Surin. Chat is finally captured but released by Surin. He joins Saen's team. To get rid of him, Chatom wishes to recruit Hamuyan, a strong hill tribe fighter. Hamuyan is coming from a hill tribe (พี่น้องแมว) and is expert in fighting skills. Hamuyan is recruited by Chatom to kill Chat. Hamuyan accepts as Chat is supposed to be a bad guy and Hamuyan needs money. Police officer Chayo intervenes before they can kill each other.

The real part 2 is supposed to be movie “ทุ่งลุยลาย” with Sombat Methanee released in 1978. This Chom Phae 2 doesn’t feature the main leading actor, i.e. Sombat Methanee and tries to bank on the box office success of part 1.
