Synopsis

Early one morning on the streets of Seattle, Lee Shiao-Lung, a Chinese
student from Hong Kong, rides his bicycle and delivering newspapers.
Shiao-Lung’s classmates persuade him to participate in a Karate
tournament being held at the university they are attending. However, his
girlfriend Lina is opposed because she fears he will get hurt. A Japanese
student boasts that Kung Fu is useless against Karate. Because of this
remark, Shiao-Lung is determined to enter the contest. He defeats all of the
top Karate champions and becomes a famous champion who is idealised
by all. All, that is, except one Japanese expert named Yamata who resented
the outcome of the competition and challenges Lee to a duel. Yamata is
defeated but the defeat leaves him with a deep hatred for Shiao-Lung.

NBC approach Lee and offer him a part in the Green Hornet TV series and
he happily accepts the role believing this to be an opportunity to promote
Kung Fu. Shiao-Lung becomes a star in the TV show and marries his
girlfriend Linda. He begins a peaceful family life but after living in the States
for so long, he feels the need to return to Hong Kong.

After returning to Hong Kong, Shiao-Lung puts on a Kung Fu demonstration
on the local TV. He becomes unhappy with the amount offered to star in a
movie in Hong Kong and decides to return to his family in the States. A
producer at a new production company sees the potential of Lee’s talents
and sends Miss Leong Hua to America to personally invite Shio-Lung to
return to Hong Kong to star in movies for his company. His first two films for
the company completely break all box-office sale records. Following his
success, Shiao-Lung brings his wife to Hong Kong to live with him but his
can not resist the love and passion of Ting-Pei, a beautiful movie star who
has so much to offer him at the height of his career.
