...costumed martial artist Iron Fist stumbles upon a plot by supervillain Fu Manchu to kidnap the Chinese delegation to the United Nations, and despite his defeating the entire Si-Fan kidnapping team, the diplomats are abducted!
Meanwhile, the martial artists known collectively as the Sons of the Tiger arrive in NYC for a tournament and encounter some old friends...I mean "fiends"...

Written by Chris Claremont and penciled and inked by Herb Trimpe, who usually couldn't do both due to deadline restrictions, this chapter suffered more than any other due to the color conversion.
Look at the b/w opening page, then compare it to the color version and note where detail is lost.
Also, the Sons of the Tiger wear red belts, which, in Kung Fu (unlike most martial arts) are the highest ranking!
So that aspect, at least, is not a mistake!
Anyway, the tale races to an astonishing finale with a couple of surprises...
