The Femme Fatale assaults villain and flees.
Hero is hired to find her.
He does.
Hero and FF fall in love.
They flee villain together.
FF shoots man who locates them.
FF returns to villain.
Villain hires/coerces hero to steal vital documents.
Hero is framed in the process.

So AAO follows the same general outline as OOTP, but the dialogue is completely different (alas), plus it has a more hopeful ending and a Femme Fatale who is more sympathetic.
