San Francisco Tong hatchet man Wong must execute his boyhood friend Sun. Sun knew his time was up and wrote out his will just prior to Wong showing up at his door. When Sun realizes Wong is there to kill him, he tries to set his friend's mind at ease by telling him he is the beneficiary of all Sun's worldly possessions and convinces Wong to promise to take care of Sun's young daughter Toya San, whom Sun has bequeathed to become his wife. Years later when she becomes of age, she marries Wong, now a powerful figure, though she loves evil Harry. When Wong learns that Toya would be happier with Harry, he allows them to leave. Still later Wong learns that Harry has been deported, and since Toya could not prove she was married to someone else, she too was deported to China. When Wong learns of this, he goes after them.
