The film opens with a young boy running to meet his grandfather Johnny Yune, who lies dying on his bed. The boy softly explains that he could not find the medicine required to cure his grandfather’s ailment and wonders aloud who will take care of him after his grandfather dies. His dying grandfather attempts to reassure the boy and explains that he should go to America. He further explains that when he was younger and working as a merchant marine, he met “the most beautiful girl” in America and tells the boy that if he goes there, she will take very good care of him. As the young boy is asking how to find her, his grandfather dies and the film fades to black.
When it fades back in, quite some time has passed and the young boy, now an adult Bruce Johnny Yune has arrived in America and has begun working as a chef, catering to some gangsters in California. The gangsters, who call the man “Bruce” due to his resemblance to the famed martial artist Bruce Lee, are having trouble keeping their “boss of bosses” happy and are trying to come up with the perfect solution to distributing cocaine to all of their clients throughout the United States. Some previous attempts at moving the drug have resulted in busts and the boss of bosses is not happy.
Through a series of misunderstandings, Bruce makes it into the local newspaper as a hero, having thwarted an attempted robbery at the local market. Lil’ Pete Tony Brande sees the newspaper and quickly devises a plan, putting Bruce in control of moving the cocaine across the country and using Freddy Raf Mauro as Bruce’s limousine chauffeur. He convinces Bruce (who already wants to go to New York City to find the lady of whom his grandfather spoke) that he should drive to New York, not fly, as flying would rob him of seeing the beautiful countryside. Bruce agrees, and the rest of the film follows an unknowing Bruce delivering what he thinks to be Chinese flour to associates of the gangsters across the country, and the interactions he has with the people on this trip.
