Plot summary
A Korean man comes to America and works as a chef in California, cooking for gangsters who call him Bruce because he resembles the martial artist Bruce Lee. Their boss of bosses is unhappy, since earlier attempts to distribute cocaine to clients around the country ended in busts. After Bruce appears in the newspaper as a hero for stopping a robbery at a local market, his boss Lil Pete puts him in charge of moving the cocaine, with Freddy, a stooge who works with the drug lords, as his chauffeur. Lil Pete tells him to drive to New York instead of flying so he can see the countryside. Bruce, who wants to reach New York City to look for a woman his grandfather spoke of, agrees, believing the packages he carries are Chinese flour.
