Pilot episode and all 15 episodes from Season 1 of the 1970s series
set in the 1870s and starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine,
a half-Chinese, half-American Shaolin priest, who is roaming the
Wild West in search of his missing brother. In the pilot epsiode,
'Kung Fu: The Way of the Tiger, the Sign of the Dragon', Caine runs
away from his native China after accidentally killing the Emperor's
nephew. He ends up in the American West, where he becomes the
champion of the oppressed workers building the transcontinental
railroad. Bounty hunters are after Caine in 'King of the Mountain',
threatening the safety of a widow and homeless boy Caine has
befriended. 'Dark Angel' sees Caine mentoring Serendipity Johnson,
a poor preacher who has been blinded by the Indians, and helping
him to develop his other senses so that his blindness is less of a
handicap. In 'Blood Brother', Caine discovers that the
narrow-minded, bigoted residents of a small town have killed a
priest of whom they were suspicious and mistrusting. A young woman
approaches Caine in 'An Eye for an Eye' to enlist his help with
getting revenge on the soldier who raped her. In 'The Tide', Caine
relies on the protection of a beautiful and mysterious Chinese girl
to protect him from bounty hunters after sustaining serious
injuries. 'The Soul is the Warrior' sees Caine encountering a
sheriff who is facing imminent death. In 'Nine Lives', Caine meets
an Irish miner who has accidentally killed his camp's mascot: a
beer-drinking cat. In order to return to work he must find a
replacement - and quickly. 'Sun and Cloud Shadow' sees Caine acting
as mediator between a small Chinese mining village and a powerful
rancher who claims that the mine they are working belongs to him.
In 'Chains', Caine finds himself shackled to an angry and bitter
man, and teaches him how to control his hatred and be at peace with
himself. Jodie Foster, then a relatively unknown child actor, guest
stars in 'Alethea' as a young girl who speaks out against Caine,
testifying that that she witnessed him shooting a man, after he is
put on trial for a murder he did not commit. In 'The Praying Mantis
Kills', a young boy defends a jail against the gunmen who killed
his father, the sheriff. Caine is captured and forced to labour as
a slave in a silver mine in 'Superstition'. The mine then caves in,
trapping him and the other miners. 'The Stone' sees Caine get
tangled up in an affair involving a priceless diamond, a Brazilian
slave, and the three revenge-seeking sons of a woman spurned by her
lover. In 'The Third Man', a gambler who has been injured by
thieves is then shot by an anonymous gunman. Finally, 'The Ancient
Warrior' sees Caine attempting to honour the death wish of an
Indian warrior who wants to die at his predestined burial place -
which just happens to be in the middle of an Indian-hating
community.
