Karla Fry (Brigitte Nielsen) is the second main antagonist from the 1987 movie "Beverly Hills Cop II".
Karla works as a henchwoman for Maxwell Dent (Jurgen Prochnow). She is an experienced shooter, gun collector, and skilled thief. She is a remorseless killer and master of disguise.
In the film, the Beverly Hills Police Captain, Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox), Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and Sergeant John Taggart (John Ashton) are trying to figure out who is behind the "Alphabet Crimes", a series of mostly high end store robberies distinguished by their monogrammed envelopes with an alphabetical sequence the assailants leave behind. Complicating matters is the new "political" state of the Beverly Hills Police Department, headed by an incompetent and verbally abusive new police chief Harold Lutz (Allen Garfield), who is doing everything he can to stay on Mayor Ted Egan's (Robert Ridgely) good side.
When Bogomil calls the FBI to help solve the case, Lutz holds Bogomil responsible as commanding officer and suspends him. Lutz also punishes Taggart and Rosewood by placing them on traffic duty. On the way home, Bogomil is shot and injured by Karla.
Finding out about the shooting by a news report, Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) immediately flies out to Beverly Hills from Detroit to help find out who shot Bugomil. Taggart and Rosewood agree to assist Foley.
Posing as an undercover FBI agent to get past Lutz, Foley soon starts making the connection between the robberies and Dent. Foley has Bogomil's daughter Jan use her connections as an insurance agent to find out about Dent's financial dealings. He learns that Dent is robbing his own businesses on purpose in order to finance firearm deals and is discreetly using his henchman Charles Cain (Dean Stockwell) as the front man for his operations. Bugomil was shot because his investigation was on the correct track into the case.
Foley visits Karla at a shooting range. From behind her, he admires her long sexy legs in a short skirt, as she leans over. He asks her, "How long does it take to shave those legs anyway". Karla responds, "I suppose you are trying to be charming". With this Foley, comes back with, "Actually, I'm just offering my grooming services".
Having foiled a robbery attempt at a bank depot, Foley is able to trick Dent's accountant Sidney Bernstein (Gilbert Gottfried) into using his computer and discovers that Dent and Karla are planning to leave the country. Foley also learns from Jan that all of Dent's businesses have had their insurance coverage canceled and are baout to go bankrupt except his race track, which he is convinced is the next target.
On the way to the race track, Foley solves the latest riddle sent to the police, and is convinced that this riddle was made easily solvable in order to implicate Cain as the Alphabet Bandit. Foley knows that Cain is a patsy designed to throw the authorities off of Dent's trail.
The three arrive too late to stop the robbery and find Cain's body who was shot by Karla. While Lutz announces publicaly that the Alphabet Crimes have been solved, Foley notices some red mud at the stables. This leads him, Taggart and Rosewood to Dent's oil field, where Dent is making his final arms deal. The three get into a shootout with everyone involved in the deal. Dent confronts Foley in the warehouse, but Foley gets distracted by one of Dent's henchmen on the roof above him and Dent gets away. Dent then crashes through the wall in his car and Foley shoots Dent through the windshield, sending his car down a hill and erupting in flames, after running Foley over, Karla appears and is about to kill Foley with her Desert Eagle, but is shot dead by Taggart.
