Bruce Lee plays the successful movie star Billy Lo in Game Of Death. Because of his skills in Eastern combat techniques (Jeet Kune Do) he earns his money by acting in Martial Art films. A crime syndicate headed by one Dr. Land (Dean Jagger) tries to steal a piece of his success and offers him a contract. Billy refuses to sign the contract because once he comes under the influence of the syndicate it will cost his independence and eventually he will perish himself. The syndicate tries by all means to convince Billy that he should do business with them. However, Billy does not give in to all the serious threats and refuses to partner with Dr. Land, who finally decides to have him killed. Lo manages to survive the attack on the film set by a hair and goes into hiding seriously injured in the head. Everyone, including his girlfriend Ann (Colleen Camp), is convinced that Billy was killed. The syndicate is also convinced that Billy has died and he is even buried with the help of friends.
