content
Kevin Foster has been thrown out of school and is being taken to another city by his father, John, a police officer. There he lives with Billy, an old friend of his father's, who used to be a karate instructor for the police. At his new college, Kevin clashes with Jeff Hunter, the school's karate champion, and his gang. At a dance competition he meets Jeff's friend Conny and wins first place with her. Jeff becomes jealous and challenges Kevin to a car race, which Kevin wins too.
In revenge, Jeff demolishes Kevin's car with his gang, and when Kevin runs up he is brutally beaten too. Kevin takes karate training from Billy to beat Jeff on his own. In the decisive duel it looks bad for Kevin at first, but when his father shows up, who never believed in Kevin's abilities, but now encourages him, Kevin can defeat Jeff.
reception
"Mixture of karate and teenage films that combines his love story with a typical American success story."
