Spoilers ahead
Small-town Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons revels in the authority that comes with ruling over his little realm. A former champion, he sees himself as a kindred spirit to his idol, Chuck “The Truck” Wallace, the B-movie Martial Arts star. Fred takes great pride in his self-appointed title as the “king of the demo” in the Tae Kwon Do demonstration circuit, despite his striking inability to master even the simplest moves. His only true weakness lies in his profound love for his wife, Suzie, a vulnerability that becomes painfully apparent when he learns of her betrayal with her new boss.
