A children's fantasy adventure,
Warriors of Virtue features five superheroes, dressed in kangaroo-like outfits, who are known as the Roos. The Roos inhabit a magical underground world which is threatened by the foppish villain Komodo (
Angus Macfayden), who is mining a life-enhancing mineral from the River of Life. Ryan Jeffers (
Mario Yedidia) arrives in this fantasy world unexpectedly, after taking a dare from a bully to walk across a whirlpool in an underground sewer. Ryan has with him an ancient Chinese manuscript, the Tao, given to him by a mystical cook in a Chinese restaurant, Ming (
Dennis Dun), before Ryan was suddenly sucked into the nether world. The Tao contains secrets coveted both by Komodo and by Master Chung (
Chao-Li Chi), an ancient guru who rules the Roos' kingdom. But only Ryan can read the manuscript.
