John Kreese (Martin Cove) owner of the Cobra-Kai Dojo, having been defeated by Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) is forced to close his martial arts center for lack of students and a blow to his reputation. Kreese however has one final card up his sleeve to get revenge on the Master-Student team that has foiled him so many times. Kreese visits an old friend from the Vietnam War, a rich and cunning business man and martial arts master named Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). Silver hatches a devious plan and sends Terry away so he can say he is dead. Silver goes to visit Mr. Miyagi and Daniel pretending that he comes to apologize for the behavior of his now deceased friend Kreese. Silver ingratiates himself to Daniel and tries to gain Miyagi’s trust by showing his knowledge of Miyagi’s service in World War 2 while excusing his friendship with the supposedly dead Kreese by passing of Kreese’s behavior as post traumatic stress. Silver pays on Daniels sense of competition to try and get him to participate in another upcoming Karate tournament, Miyagi objects to Daniels involvement but Daniel insists and a rift begins to form between the two. Miyagi refuses to train Daniel but Kreese seizes the moment and offers to train Daniel in his punishing and brutal training program he calls “Quick Silver”, Daniel agrees. Daniel begins training and is accosted by Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) who is the current tournament champion, which is yet another part of Silvers plan to distract Daniel and force him to work harder in training to the point of injuring himself. Things come to a head at the tournament where Daniel and Miyagi learn to there surprise that Kreese is very much alive and they have been tricked.
