SYNOPSIS
Cheng Chiu-On (Bruce Lee) arrives from China to Thailand to make a fresh start in life. He makes a promise to his uncle that he won't get into any trouble and will work hard with his cousins at the local ice factory.

However, one day when a block of ice is accidentally broken, something that looks like a block of white powder comes out. Later that night, the two cousins who made the discovery were asked to stay to see the manager. It soon becomes apparent that the factory is a front for a drug smuggling ring led by the Big Boss, Hsiao Mi (Han Ying-Chieh).

Suspicions are raised when people suddenly start to disappear without a trace. Cheng's cousin Hsu Chien (James Tien) decides to pay the boss a visit to confront him about the recent disappearances. When Hsu Chien fails to return home, his sister Chiao Mei (Maria Yi) looks to Cheng to find out what's happened to him.

At the ice factory, Cheng is promoted to foreman in the hopes that he will stop prying into what's been going on at the factory. The boss of the factory plies Cheng with alcohol and sets him up with a prostitute but he realises that things are not as the seem and one night decides to break into the factory. To his horror it's not only drugs that Cheng discovers buried in the ice but also the corpses of his missing cousins.

Cheng's tragic discovery leads him to seek out justice and revenge on the man responsible for the death of so many, the big boss himself, Hsiao Mi.
