Taunted by his peers for his Americanised 'cop' persona, Connor Phillips (Matt Routledge) is unequalled in the art of fighting crime. Turning chopsticks, trouser belts and socks into unusual weapons to combat crime, he is a walking advertisement for the Merseyside Police. However, the kung fu kicking detective's skills are put to the test when a new gangster, Felix Danno, places a nerve gas bomb in Liverpool's city centre, hell bent on revenge. After some deadly games of cat and mouse, Connor faces a race against the clock to locate the bomb and save his home town from destruction.

Synopsis

Six actors punch, kick and wrestle their way through the Wild West of an East London drinking establishment.

The ritual of the Western bar-brawl is relocated in a London working men's club.

The formal approach (to choreography, framing and editing) ensures that the viewer is made aware of the choreographed nature of the violence. This violence appears to have no consequences, the actors' bodies being as rubbery and invulnerable as those in the television Westerns that inspired it.
