Liu Jian, a China|Chinese agent, is assigned to Paris to help apprehend a Chinese gangster involved in Heroin smuggling. However, Liu is just a scapegoat for Jeanne-Pierre Richard, a violent French police inspector who brutally kills the gangster; framing Liu for murder in the process.

Liu keeps a low profile while trying to escape, and he meets up with Jessica, an United States|American woman who was forced into prostitute|prostitution by Richard. Jessica is able to prove Liu's innocence, but Richard anticipates this and kidnaps Jessica's young daughter. With no other choice, Liu launches a counterattack on his pursuers, and combats them in an attempt to clear his name.

The title "Kiss of the Dragon" is derived from one of the last scenes in the movie, in which Liu punctures Richard in the back of the neck with an acupuncture needle at a "very forbidden" certain point. The puncture itself is called "kiss of the dragon," from which Richard begins to bleed, using Liu's words, "from your nose, your eyes, even your ears."
