Here's the unforgettable story of a Chinese gorilla who knew karate! Raised as a lifelong housepet of Chinese karate master Alfunku, this gorilla uses martial arts to attack and defeat his master during a lesson. Embarrassed, the master gives him to the United States as a friendly gesture, where the simian is displayed in Wichita, Kansas. As a publicity stunt, the gorilla, now named King Kung Fu, is set free, and police captain J.W. Duke and his first officer Pilgrim begin an extensive chase to recover him and his love interest, Rae Fay, culminating atop the tallest building in Wichita, the Holiday Inn.
