Keung (Jackie Chan) comes to New York's Bronx to attend

stay in New York for awhile and help her get started.
But a previous entanglement with a gang of small-time
hoods sparks a string of attacks on the store.
Keung's conflict with the gang escalates when he begins
dating the gang leader's girlfriend, Nancy (Françoise
