Following service in the Korean War, American Steve Whalen visits Hong Kong to look in on a tea plantation in which he has inherited a half share. When told that the business is very unprofitable by his local partner, Whalen becomes suspicious and a series of attacks on him lead him to investigate. The plantation is being used as a front for opium smuggling.
