China returns to her native Midwestern town where her father is a sheriff, but she finds the town under the power of a crime boss Sommers. When Sheriff O'Brien tries to confront gangsters, he and his deputy are killed by car bomb. Sommers plans to give the sheriff's star to his devoted man but China runs for sheriff herself and wins the election. With the help of her friend Matt Conroy (Richard Norton) and Native American biker Dakota (Keith Cooke) she starts cleaning up the town. The movie was followed with a sequel China O'Brien II.
