Brief Introduction:

In 1971, Bruce Lee developed a concept for a television series titled Ah Sahm, about a martial artist in the American Old West. However, Lee had difficulty pitching the series to Warner Bros. and Paramount. According to Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, Warner Bros. retooled and renamed Lee's concept into Kung Fu, starring David Carradine in the lead role. Warner Bros. stated that they had already begun developing a similar concept, created by writers and producers Ed Spielman and Howard Friedlander, which was later confirmed by Fred Weintraub's memoir and Matthew E. Polly's authoritative biography. According to these sources, Bruce Lee was not cast in the lead role in part because of his ethnicity, but more so because of his accent. Set during the Tong Wars in late 1870s San Francisco, the series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China in search of his sister, only to be sold to one of the most powerful tongs in Chinatown.

While defending another Chinese migrant, Ah Sahm gains the attention of Wang Chao, a black market salesman who takes him to meet Father Jun, the leader of the Hop Wei tong. Father Jun's son, Young Jun, is nearly abducted from a brothel by the rival Long Zii tong before Ah Sahm comes to his rescue. Distraught, Ah Sahm visits the brothel and sleeps with the madam, Ah Toy. As Ah Sahm sleeps, Ah Toy kills the two recently bailed Irishmen who are revealed to be part of the Irish Mob. Penelope visits the jail and pleads with Ah Sahm to defend himself in court, but he refuses knowing it is futile as the police are not only corrupt and racist, but are also trying to pin the blame of the two Irishmen killed by Ah Toy on him as well. Elsewhere, Ah Toy cuts out the tongue of one of her prostitutes for being a Long Zii informant, and Li Yong kills the police officer who snitched to the Hop Wei.At court, Ah Sahm is falsely charged with provoking an attack on the two Irishmen. Ah Sahm calls out Bill for aiding the Irish Mob which causes Bill to change his opinion of Ah Sahm. Ah Sahm is able to sneak out with help from Bill and Wang Chao, with the latter giving Ah Sahm a message from Mai Ling, who tells him to leave San Francisco. Later that night, Ah Sahm visits Penelope at her home where she thanks him for saving her, and an angry Leary orders the two Irishmen and their family to leave San Francisco before his gang sets fire to their house.Bill is beaten by his old friend and former police officer, Jack Damon, who has been hired by the Fung Hai tong to ensure all Irishmen, even cops, repay their debts; Ah Sahm rips the ticket and promises that this time he will be the one to save her.Ah Sahm and Young Jun are tasked by Father Jun with transporting a coffin from Nevada to San Francisco. The next morning, Ah Sahm and Young Jun say their goodbyes and return to San Francisco on horseback.An assassination attempt on Father Jun during the Chinese New Year parade ends up killing many people, including a white woman. When Ah Sahm learns that Father Jun has sent Bolo to kill Long Zii and Mai Ling, he rushes to the couple's hideout and fights Bolo, which results in Bolo's death. When Timmons asks Patterson to betray Ah Toy and join him instead, Ah Toy kills Timmons then dumps his body into the sea.The duel between Li Yong and Ah Sahm sees the former ultimately victorious, allowing the Long Zii to trade opium in their territory. Banished from the Hop Wei by Father Jun, Ah Sahm is taken in and nursed by Ah Toy; Ah Toy informs Ah Sahm how Mai Ling planned to allow him to die in the ring.
