This film essentially begins with a ruthless crime boss by the name of "Leo King" (Ken Metcalfe) hiring some men digging up the grave of an ancient Chinese scientist and then taking a pouch that supposedly contains a mysterious substance that can change the world. Once he knows that the pouch is being shipped to him, he then has the person in charge of the graverobbers killed. The scene then shifts to an American boxer by the name of "Cal Jefferson" (James Iglehart) arriving in Hong Kong on a honeymoon with his bride "Arlene Jefferson" (Shirley Washington). While touring the city Arlene decides to buy a wooden Buddha and, since it's a bit heavy, Cal asks the shopkeeper to have it sent to his hotel room. To that effect, the shopkeeper subsequently sends one of his employees with it but, on the way there, the young man carrying the wooden Buddha is accosted by some of Leo King's and a pouch is carefully placed within the box containing the merchandise before being delivered to Cal Jefferson's hotel room. The scene then shifts again to a young woman being sexually assaulted by three thugs when a local wanderer known simply as "Charley" (Chiquito) comes out of nowhere and tries to save her. Although the woman manages to escape, Charley is thrown into the harbor and is saved by Cal who just happens to be in a nearby boat with Arlene. Feeling indebted to Cal for saving his life, Charley willingly offers his servitude which Cal positively does not want. That eventually changes, however, when thugs working for Leo King come around and decide to take possession of the wooden Buddha and, if necessary, kill Cal in the process. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this low-budget, blaxploitation-kung fu movie suffered somewhat from its lack of financial resources as both the acting and some of the action scenes could have used a bit of improvement. To be sure, I don't consider this to be a bad film necessarily, but it didn't really impress me all that much and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
