This gang is led by the evil Chinese Master Fang, a local warlord who controls nearly half of the local population and who takes white settlers hostage. During their quest, Terry and Pat encounter interesting people, including the Dragon Lady, who is determined to defend her kingdom. Terry and Pat want to team up with the Dragon Lady in her fight against Fang and his Tiger Men'. In return, both hope for the Dragon Lady's help in their search for Terry's father.
