Kung Fu

Kwai Chang Caine è un monaco shaolin per metà cinese e per metà americano che, dopo aver passato l'infanzia e la prima giovinezza in Cina ad apprendere l'arte del Kung Fu, si trova costretto a fuggire e a rifugiarsi nel Vecchio West. Qui va alla ricerca del fratello mai conosciuto, Danny Caine e delle sue origini. Durante tale ricerca aiuta decine di persone a risolvere i propri problemi usando come unica arma la sua abilità nelle arti marziali e la forza interiore scaturita dalla propria filosofia di vita. Ostile al denaro non accetterà mai ricompense per i propri servigi che vadano al di là del cibo e di un semplice alloggio.
