Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Jerry Kwan (Jackie
Chan) leads
a very easy-going life with his girlfriend, Nancy (Kristine DeBell), and
his family. His father owns a restaurant, and one day, he is threatened by the
mob to pay a part of his profits. As the mob exits, Jerry enters the scene and
rushes out the door to catch up with them. He answers back by taking them on
and eventually catches the eye of the mob for his unique and talented fighting
abilities. In effect, he is forced to join the Battle Creek Brawl fight
in Texas. The
mob promises to return his brother's fiancèe and give him the prize money as
long as Jerry wins the tournament. He gets help from his uncle, a kung-fu
teacher, to train him for the Battle Creek Brawl. They focus on Jerry's speed
and agility as he must fight very tough opponents, one of them including Billy
Kiss (H.B.
Haggerty), the big, bulky, unbeatable winner from
previous battles who kisses his opponents after they are defeated.
