Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect
set timeout 10

set arg [lindex $argv 0]
set arg1 [lindex $argv 1]


spawn ssh -l UserA 1.1.1.1
expect "assword:";
send "PasSwOrD\r";
expect "$";
send "telnet 2.2.2.2\r";
set timeout 260
expect "login:";
send "UserA\r";
expect "Password:";
send "PasSwOrD\r";
expect ">";

I'm not sure, but possibly the "$" is taken in some special meaning. Try
Code:
expect -ex "\$"

In any case you may get more insight into the script's operation by adding
Code:
exp_internal 1

at the beginning
