It stars Chuck Norris, Christopher Lee, Richard Roundtree, Matt Clark, Mako Iwamatsu, and Maggie Cooper.

Undercover San Francisco narcotics cops Sean Kane and Dave Pierce head into a dark alley to meet up with an informant named Tony Montoya, who promises to break their big investigation wide open, by providing the name of the oriental drug ringleader.

Kane gets into trouble with his boss, Captain Stevens, for sending one of the killers flying out a third-story window to his death in view of the public.

Rather than face discipline, and told to keep his distance by his superiors, Kane decides to quit the force, and sets out to exact vengeance.

Kane checks the cargo hold of the Sulu Sea and finds that the drugs are imported inside fireworks transported from Hong Kong.

After being spotted, Kane sets the fireworks on fire, and escapes as Stevens and his fellow officers watch in the distance.
