Plot summary
Steve Hunt, a martial artist, is invited to a castle in the Namibian desert for what he understands to be an Olympic-style karate competition. The host is Baron von Rudloff, a former German general who has never accepted his martial arts team's defeat to the Japanese master Miyagi at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Von Rudloff has assembled a field of fighters from many countries, and Steve is the one he wants most. Steve's girlfriend Olga, also a karateka, has come with him, and von Rudloff's people decide she is not suitable to stay on his team. Once she is ruled out of von Rudloff's team, Steve looks for a way out.
