Based on a story Bruce Lee helped create for a film in which he hoped to star, this instead ended up being a tour de force for David Carradine, who essays four quite differant roles.

The narrative depicts the adventures of martial artist Cord (Jeff Cooper) as he travels through a mystical world, encountering various trials, in his quest to view a revered book said to contain all knowledge. Earnest attempts at Zen profundity are altogether undermined by out-of-place humor and miscast guest stars Christopher Lee, Eli Wallach, and Roddy McDowall.

Carradine does some of his best work of the period here in which he suffered two broken noses during filming.
