Synopsis:
Mark Shaw is taken to a Yakuza leader following his battle with Dumas in Japan. Eiji Hasegawa explains the debt he owes to Mark's stepfather Eliot for saving the life of his wife years earlier. Hasegawa then helps to smuggle Mark out of the country and back to America.

Dumas does not want to fight the Yakuza, so he waits until Mark is back in America to renew their fight. He kidnaps Mark's mother and uses her as a hostage. Mark and his family all come to her aid. Mark's brother is injured in the fight in which Dumas escapes, but they are successful in rescuing Rose Shaw.
