Plot summary
Wong Fei-hung, 13th Aunt and the apprentice Clubfoot make their way from China to America to see "Bucktooth" So, who has opened a San Francisco branch of Wong's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Po-chi-lam. Many Chinese workers have been sent to the U.S. railroads, where they are treated brutally, and hatred of Chinese immigrants runs high among American workers. On the wagon road the travelers pick up Billy, a cowboy nearly dead from thirst. At a lunch stop a group of hostile Native Americans ambushes them and destroys the carriage. Rescuers bring 13th Aunt and Clubfoot to So's clinic. Wong suffers a blow to the head from a rock and loses all memory of who he is. A second Native American tribe finds him and takes him in.
