A pretty entertaining B-movie with almost constant fighting with the baddie underlings.

is what it is, Cynthia Rothrock never made a film again with HK quality in the action.

Cynthia is a Kung Fu instructor police woman, China O'Brien) who quits the police force
after mistakingly shooting and killing a young unarmed thug.
She moves home again, to the country village/town Beaver Creek where her father is
the Sheriff, but a bad rough crowd have taken over the place and he's without power.
The Crime Boss, Summers (Steven Kerby) runs the place and has corrupted one of the
sheriff deputies, Lickner (Patrick Adamson) and even the towns Judge.

Summers murders China's father and also the only other good sheriff in town, and
China decides to run for being the new sheriff. Everything is brewing to a violent
showdown and China is helped by her old schoolmate Matt (Richard Norton) and by
a young native guy, Dakota (Keith Cooke,who showcases his MA talent).
