Plot

Johnny Woo, a doctor from Chinatown, meets Julie at his aunt's restaurant, when Julie mistakes him for a waiter. The two instantly fall in love and from this moment their fates are sealed. Unfortunately, Julie's boyfriend Chuck and her brother Brad from Little Italy are fighting a gang war with Chinatown, and this presents a major obstacle to Johnny and Julie's relationship. Julie breaks up with Chuck and this causes more trouble. Eventually, a fight is arranged to finally decide the victor in the gang war, to be fought Thai-style with broken glass in a ring of fire. The outcome is tragedy, as Johnny's cousin is killed. Relentlessly goaded by Brad and Chuck, Johnny finally agrees to fight Brad in a boxing ring. Faced with defeat, the cowardly Brad attacks Johnny with a samurai sword, but manages to slash his sister Julie. Ashamed of himself, Brad finally accepts the loss of Julie, who is carried out by Johnny.
