Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter with little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in The Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap the base colonel's daughter.

Ninjutsu-Meister Sensei hütet das älteste Geheimnis der Ninjas: Die Waffentruhe "Yoroi Bitsu" mit den Waffen der letzten Koga Ninja. Zwei seiner eifrigsten Schüler sind der hitzköpfige Masazuka und der amerikanische Student Casey. Als sich beide in die Tochter ihres Meisters verlieben, verliert Masazuka die Kontrolle. Daraufhin verbannt ihn Sensei für immer aus dem Doro - doch Masazuka schwört Rache. Jahre später kehrt Masazuka zurück, um die Herrschaft über das Doro und des Yoroi Bitsu an sich zu reißen. Eine kampfgeladene Jagd nach der Waffentruhe beginnt und führt die Krieger schließlich bis nach New York - wo Masazuka endlich zu bekommen scheint, was er will: Sensei’s Tochter Namika. Doch mit der Yoroi Bitsu als Köder, führt Casey seinen Gegner in eine tödliche Falle.

Nun gibt es kein Halten mehr: Mit beispielloser Härte geht der ausgezeichnete Ninjutsu-Fighter in den Kampf und hinterlässt eine Schneise der Zerstörung in den Reihen eines international agierenden Drogenrings …
