When the lovely Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu) is kidnapped from China, the Emperor dispatches three of his most fierce and noble Imperial Guards to deliver the ransom in gold to her kidnappers in America‘s Wild West. Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) isn‘t among the chosen. However, he manages to tag along anyway by offering to carry the luggage for his uncle, the Interpreter.

Heading through the Nevada desert by train, the Imperial entourage is hijacked by a motley crew of would–be train robbers led by Roy O‘Bannon (Owen Wilson). Some quick martial arts moves by Chon mean the thieves lose the loot, but they also abandon Chon alone in the desert.

Trekking through the wilderness, Chon serendipitously comes across the hopeless Roy, who has been abandoned by his former partners in crime after the bungled train robbery and buried up to his neck in the desert sand. Roy begs to be extricated from his dire situation. Chon obliges by providing a set of chopsticks and suggests Roy dig himself out – no hands!

Chon continues his journey and takes on a party of Crow warriors to save a small Native American boy and finds himself a hero with the boy‘s Sioux tribe. Fringe benefits include a peace pipe smoke–up, a horse with some bizarre habits and a beautiful wife named Falling Leaves. When Chon sets off again to rescue the princess, all but the peace pipe come with him.

An unexpected run–in with Roy in a saloon lands the two in jail. But, hearing that Chon‘s mission involves not only a beautiful princess but also a trunk of gold coins, Roy becomes his new best friend. Chon engineers a brilliant jail break and the unlikely partners head to Carson City where they face brawls, bordellos, treachery and plenty of what Roy calls "crazy, girlie, kick–fightin‘" as East meets West in a battle for honour, royalty and a fortune in gold.
