Plot

Four coeds are about to graduate from a secret academy, where they have been trained to become spies in the paramilitary group D.E.B.S. (Discipline, Energy, Beauty, and Strength). Candidates are selected through a test hidden in the SATs that measures an applicant's ability to fight, cheat, lie, and kill. The team is headed by Max (Meagan Good); the other team members are Janet (Jill Ritchie), the chain-smoking Dominique (Devon Aoki), and Amy (Sara Foster), who is doubtful about being a spy. The SAT is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. ... Meagan Monique Good (born: Flee Chase Good) August 8, 1981) is an African American actress. ... Devon Edwenna Aoki (デヴォン鸡巴 Devon Aoki, born August 10, 1982) is an American supermodel and actress. ... Sara Foster (born 2 August 1981) is a US actor. ...

As the film opens, Amy has broken up with her boyfriend, Bobby. Her personal life takes a back seat to the re-emergence of Lucy Diamond, a criminal mastermind. The D.E.B.S. are sent by their headmistress, Miss Petrie, to surveil Diamond (Brewster). They arrive at the restaurant Les Deux Amours expecting to witness criminal dealings. Little do they know that Diamond has been set up on a blind date by her chief henchman, Scud (Simpson). She is there to meet an ex-KGB assassin named Ninotchka. The date is a disaster. Bobby shows up to confront Amy about their breakup, but accidentally alerts Diamond to the spies overhead. A shootout erupts, and Diamond escapes in the chaos. The D.E.B.S. follow her, splitting up into two groups with Max and Dominique going one way, and Amy and Janet going the other. Amy and Janet get separated and Amy literally runs into Lucy in a large storage room. They quickly end up in a standoff, with Amy trying to convince Lucy to come quietly. Lucy instead charms Amy into lowering her guard and disappears the moment Amy's attention wavers.

Lucy returns to the squad's residence that night to talk to Amy, with whom she is quite taken. They fight, until Lucy gains the upper hand and forces Amy to go out with her for a night of fun. However, they encounter Janet outside the house. Lucy has no choice but to bring Janet along or risk discovery. They drive to an underground club called The Junk Pit. Amy has every intention of sulking in the car, but Janet goes inside to use the bathroom and Amy accompanies her. Inside the club, Lucy notices Amy and convinces her to have a drink. Janet ends up bonding with Scud while Lucy further charms Amy. Lucy is intrigued by Amy's intellect, her breakup with Bobby, and her obvious doubts about being a spy. Amy is fascinated to discover that much of Lucy's deadly reputation has been carefully manufactured. Lucy senses Amy's attraction and leans in to kiss her--only to be interrupted by a shocked Janet.

Lucy takes the two D.E.B.S. home. Janet is indignant, claiming that Amy is violating protocol. Amy blackmails her into silence by reminding her of an incident involving the Bulgarian chancellor. The next day, Miss Petrie meets with Amy and promotes her to squad leader, effectively replacing Max. Max is furious, but must follow Amy as they respond to a bank heist orchestrated by Lucy.

At the bank, Amy and Max bicker over the best approach to rescuing the hostages and capturing Lucy Diamond. Amy rushes blindly forward and the squad gets trapped inside of a vault. A chute opens under Amy's feet; she falls out of the vault, leaving the other three behind. Amy arrives in the bank's basement, where Lucy is waiting for her. Meanwhile, the vault has turned into a death trap as the ceiling sprouts large spikes and begins to descend. In the basement, Amy tells Lucy that they cannot be together and gets her to release her squadmates. Lucy attempts to cover her interest in order to salvage her pride and turns to leave, but is pulled back by Amy, who can no longer resist her attraction to Lucy. They kiss, and Lucy asks Amy to come with her. The D.E.B.S. arrive in the basement to find Lucy's callsign, diamonds, Amy's tie and a note reading "I HAVE THE GIRL." They assume Amy has been kidnapped, though Janet seems to know exactly what has happened.

Miss Petrie organizes a nationwide manhunt to find Amy while she spends some quality time with Lucy. They are seen by a jealous Ninotchka, who anonymously tips Max to their location. Lucy and Amy are arguing about their respective professions while the D.E.B.S. and Bobby close in on Lucy's lair. They catch the two women in a moment of passion. Mortified, Amy returns to the D.E.B.S and attempts to explain herself. Miss Petrie is ready to exile her, but Max steps in with an alternative. Amy will tell everyone that she was brainwashed by Lucy, but that the D.E.B.S. rescued her in the nick of time. Tearfully, Amy agrees to comply. Max is still disgusted with Amy, and Amy finds herself being shunned by her friends for her deception.

Meanwhile, Lucy does everything she can to win Amy back. Finally, she and Scud plan to crash the D.E.B.S. year-end dance, Endgame, where Amy is to be made D.E.B. of the year. At the dance, Lucy gets spotted by security and must evade Bobby while Amy gives her speech, unaware. Lucy fights her way to the auditorium, where she is just in time to hear Amy publicly condemn her. She is saddened, but catches Amy's eye and smiles hopefully. Amy retracts her entire speech, and admits that the days she spent with Lucy were the best days of her life before running offstage. She and Lucy find each other in a storage room very like the one in which they first met. Max and the squad catch up to them, but Max has by this time reconciled herself with the fact that her best friend is in love. She lets them go and misdirects Bobby and the security squad so that Amy and Lucy can make their escape.

The movie ends on Lucy and Amy driving into a beautiful night together.
