Summary
November, 1948

New York City, New York

Dr. Danger is investigating the disappearance of prostitutes in Manhattan. He watches a woman kidnapped and shoved into a van. Hitting the van with a tracker arrow, Dr. Danger is able to follow the van to Chinatown. In a narrow alley, he is attacked and knocked unconscious. He awakes in a rundown room and confronted by Jingshen. Dr. Danger insists on continuing his mission while Jingsehn insists he leave.

In the ensuing fight, Jingshen handily defeats Dr. Danger.

Knowing he's beaten, Dr. Danger is about to leave until he realizes Jingshen knows where the women are being held. He is adamant that he should try to help them. Jingshen relents, and allows Dr. Danger to accompany him.

Together, they attack a heroine making operation to speak with the boss, Hsing Shou. Hsing agrees to release the kidnapped women in exchange for Dr. Danger leaving Chinatown never to return. It's a lie, and the pair are led to a courtyard to be ambushed. They fight back, killing their attackers. A grenade thrown by one of their attackers and deflected by Danger, sets the heroine operation on fire.

They enter the brothel on the other side of the courtyard where they learn the kidnapped women are dosed with heroin to keep them docile. The heroes evacuate the women and burn the brothel.
