Storyline
Kwai Chang Caine is a Shaolin Monk who is on the run after he killed the Chinese Emperor's nephew after that coward killed his teacher in cold blood with a gun. He flees to America to escape retaliation, and to search for his brother in order to settle down in this new land. However, in his travels in the wild west, he can not help but continually run into trouble from desperados and other ruffians as they oppress the innocent, while bounty hunters pursue the price on his head. Against this, he has his skill of Kung Fu martial arts, which proves to be devastatingly effective in this gun-dominated land. Written by Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@home.com>

I have not seen this series for well over 35 years. Remarkably, it has stood the harsh test of time.
While it cannot compare with university level studies of East Asian philosophy and religion, it deals with topics that have universal applicability, and it does so in an intelligent fashion.
Caine lives in a world of avarice, violence, and breath-taking stupidity. In spite of all this, he must persevere in his pursuit of familial connections and obligations, another eternal Eastern theme.
The dialog and psychological situations merit serious attention and certainly keep the viewer's interest.
