| Overview: | China's vast landscape is the setting for this successful Second World War adventure. Four American pilots are forced to parachute into Japanese Army occupied China. Two pilots are killed immediately, one Thomas Anderson is captured and taken to the Japanese headquarters for interrogation.
Only Joe escapes and is immediately befriended by a group of four Chinese guerrillas, each with an axe to grind against the Japanese. The leader Wang Lung with his team, pledges to protect Joe and defend him, so that he may escape.
Unfortunately, the captured pilot is interrogated by lieutenant Kafka (Robert Baker), a Gestapo officer who has been sent by Germany to help their Japanese allies with any military issues. Kafka is a sadistic and brutal soldier and kills the pilot whilst under initial interrogation. Now the chase is on to get Joe out of the country and using clever disguises and superior martial arts techniques, it leads to many confrontations with the enemy with a fierce and desperate conclusion.
Robert Baker (Fist Of Fury) re-invents his evil martial arts mercenary role, only this time instead of being a Russian, he plays a nasty nazi who becomes obsessed with capturing the America pilot to prove himself in front of his Japanese comrades.
