  The story takes place in the Old West and the Far East. After a Kung-Fu fighter runs away from a fight, his opponent goes in search of the man. This leads the Chinese man to the Old West, where the two team-up against a gang of cowboy thugs. The two Kung-Fu fighters turn out to be brothers. They both become involved in other unpleasant situations and meet new friends, and the love of a woman. When their teacher arrives from China the two must either fight each other or go against the Samurai.
