He wins the tournament - but learns too late that the victory brings with it life-long servitude to an international crime syndicate. He escapes the syndicate's clutches and heads to the U.S. with his championship belt to find his father, but gets stranded in Diddleville - a small, end-of-the-road desert town that is owned by a cannabis-growing Chief of Police. When the Chief learns of his celebrity status in the martial arts world from a mysterious young woman claiming to be a reporter from "Ultimate Fighter Magazine", the Chief sees a business opportunity and gives our hero an ultimatum: Fight in a staged tournament in Diddleville or go to prison on trumped-up charges. When an escape from Diddleville is made possible by a brave local, our hero faces the dilemma of saving himself or helping rid the town of the Chief. He decides to help the town and stays. The international crime syndicate's boss and martial artists arrive - hell-bent on killing our hero and thereby becoming Champion. The tournament becomes a fight-to-the-death, a fight with unexpected twists and turns - culminating in our hero winning the respect of the town and his father. But with a price still on his head, our hero has to move on - and his real adventure begins. Written by
