***SPOILERS*** It from non other then the Panamanian town's police chief Colonel Chauvin, Robert Loggia, and a bunch of friendly native headhunters that American bar owner Rory O'Rourke, Robert Fuller,is able to get Lady Mei, Ann Blyth , and her 10 year old son Jing Li, Tony Davis,out of the country to the safety o the United States. Both Lady Mai and young Jing are being targeted by Chinese General Doe, Richard Anderson, who's actually a US navy deserter and his henchmen who are out to murder both of them.
The fact that young Jing is heir to the Chinese thrown is enough reason for Gen.Doe to have him killed! In that he'll keep his uncle from taking power and thus prevent Gen.Doe from being appointed the nation's Defense Minister! And it's Rory O'Rourke's job to prevent that from happening! And by him doing that he's in fact putting his life in mortal danger. It's Col. Chauvin who at first was working with Gen Doe and his American partner the unshaven and slimy Alder Ritter, Warren Stevens, who saw through his act and joined Rory in getting both Lady Mei and young Jing out of danger and to the safety of Panama City. But it was the friendly jungle headhunters who made that all possible by preventing Gen.Doe together with Ritter and his henchmen from overtaking Lady Mei young Jing and Rory when they had them cornered in the jungle.
***SPOILERS*** With the danger now gone Lady Mei and young Jing are safe to go back home to China, via the US, and Rory back to his bar. With the most important of all the happening in the movie Col. Chauvin can now go back to his girlfriend American singer Elena, Susanne Cramer, who he's been having an on and off affair with for years. That's in Elena switching from him to Rory over who she eventually want's to marry.
