An international cockfighting tournament in the Republic of the Philippines draws Seth Calhoun (Ross Hagen) and his beloved game fowl, Friendly. Local promoter and gangster Seeno Nono (Subas Herrero) is concerned by the American's confidence in placing only one cock in the competition, so he dispatches his loyal employee Yuki Chang (Nancy Kwan) to learn more about the flamboyant cowboy. An offer to buy Friendly is rebuffed, so the gangster sends his henchmen to steal the rooster, but they haven't counted on Calhoun's skills with fisticuffs and guns. Meanwhile, Yuki is falling in love with Calhoun, though an attempt at a tryst is interrupted when Friendly is successfully kidnapped. With the help of Yuki, assistant cock trainer G.I. Joe (Tony Lorea), and a band of helpful street urchins, the fighting fowl is recovered just in time to compete.
