Alex gets to know the pretty Janine Elson. He tries to steal the sword, but is caught by the police and betrayed by his friend. Alex is taken to the toughest prison in Thailand. Here he is often beaten up and meets the guard Demon and the Japanese combat master Mr. Sun. He instructs Alex in the fighting style of the "iron fist". After the prison warden releases Alex, he goes to the Kumite and meets Demon and the tournament overseer Ray Jackson.
