The final entry in the Masutatsu Oyama trilogy finds Oyama working as a professional wrestler in Okinawa. Disgusted when he learns the promoters want him to lose deliberately, he quits. When a close friend urgently needs medical supplies, he reluctantly returns to the ring to earn the money, but this time he must decide whether to stick to the scripted dive.
