Plot

James Iglehart portrays Cal Jefferson, an African-American prizefighter, who is on his honeymoon in Hong Kong with his new wife, played by Shirley Washington. During their time there, he encounters a drowning Chinese man whom he jumps into the sea to save. This now-revived and very grateful mute man turns out to be someone they cannot seem to shake off. Although they believe they have finally gotten rid of him, it appears otherwise.

As they make a purchase in Hong Kong, the item becomes the center of attention for a gang led by Kenneth Metcalfe, who will stop at nothing to retrieve it. Faced with this danger, they decide to leave Hong Kong for Manila in the Philippines. However, their troubles continue as they find themselves under attack, with the mute Chinese man once again coming to their assistance.[4]
