The story of two marginalized beings, an old alcoholic and a mute boy, who meet stealing on the streets of San Francisco. The friendship that arises between the two will make the man stop drinking and go back to practicing the forgotten martial arts. Frank, the mute boy, will become his student and executing arm to help him avenge the murderer of his entire family at the hands of the mafia.

Bernie and Chic are two loveable goofballs just looking for easy work, sexy ladies, and a good slice of pizza. But a beating from a gang of thugs convinces the buddies to train in the martial arts in the hopes of meeting girls… and maybe learning a little self-defense.
