[edit] Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Mick Dundee is still making his home in the tiny outback town of Walkabout Creek with his significant other Sue Charlton, and now joined by their young son Mikey. Crocodile hunting has been made illegal, and Mick has been reduced to wrestling the animals for tourists. When an opportunity comes up for Sue to take over as Los Angeles bureau chief of a newspaper owned by her father, Mick and family cross the Pacific to California.

There, Mick and his son's encounters with the natives cause more than a few cross-cultural mishaps, including a massive traffic jam on the freeway when the Dundees attempt an animal rescue. In the meantime, Mick becomes an amateur sleuth helping to probe the mysterious death of his wife's predecessor at the newspaper.

As it turns out, a film studio the dead reporter had been sniffing into is about to make a sequel to the action movie Lethal Agent, which is strange considering that the first attempts were disastrous commercial failures. Mick becomes suspicious when several paintings from Eastern Europe are brought onto the set; at first he suspects drugs, but later the pictures themselves are revealed to be missing art from a museum in former Yugoslavia. Attempting to secure one of the paintings for evidence, Mick and company (Sue and Jacko) run afoul with the studio director and his thugs.
