Roguish, Indiana Jones-like, fedora and leather jacket-wearing American adventurer and black marketeer Jeff Williams is hired to steal a priceless, jewel-encrusted, gold statue of Buddha, the only possession of a small recently-orphaned Chinese boy called Wei Lin, who arrived in Hong Kong with a group of refugees escaping the Chinese Civil War that Mao's Communists are winning. Jeff cold-heartedly does his job and ends up being stuck with the kid, who sees him as a surrogate father and refuses to let go of him. When Jeff meets Julie McQuade, a pretty schoolteacher and daughter of a missionary, his tough shell begins to break as he grows fond of both her and the kid and realizes that he must help them escape the city while there's still time. However, his non-sentimental employees double-cross him and he must use all his skills and wits to survive this adventure.
