Caine is a soft-spoken Shaolin priest who, when Imperial China puts a price on his head, flees to America where his humble ways and expertise in the martial arts collide head-on with the greed and guns of the Old West. Caine's slow anger and lightning fists aid a group of laborers oppressed by a ruthless railroad boss. A bounty-hungry Shaolin priest trades honor for gold and arrives at the railroad camp to challenge Caine to a kung-fu death-match.
