Caine brokers a settlement between a landowner and Chinese miners, but the landowner adds an unacceptable condition to the deal. Meanwhile, a karate master intends to capture Caine.

Wu Chang has angered the Tong Sect, and is ordered to commit suicide or be executed by them. Caine tries to help him fake his death and escape from the Tongs.

Caine meets a woman that was his grandfather's lover, and is very hostile to his inquiries, while a group of Chinese assassins (believed to be able to summon forth demon fighters) closes in on him.

A reclusive hermit, Tamo, arrives at the Honan monastery to inform them that the Fukien monastery was attacked and destroyed by a warlord with his cannon, and that he has survivors seeking refuge there. One of the survivors is a woman who wants to become a Shaolin monk. She later reveals the warlord wanted her to be his wife, and she fled. Now the warlord is preparing to attack the monastery and having his cannon brought there.

Caine and the others try to defend the monastery, while the cannon the Warlord SIng will attack them with is still enroute. In the meantime, he must contend with the fact that a woman who wants to become a Shaolin monk and rejected Sing's hand in marriage, has fallen in love with him.
