Summary:
After a traitor of the Shaolin temple, Shih Shao-Feng, has eliminated thousands of his former colleagues in exchange for power from the Manchus under the Qing dynasty, a surviving master of Shaolin, Yun Fei, is tasked with the mission of bringing Shih to justice. In order to defeat Shih's overwhelmingly large army - led by the ruthless Tu Qing - Yun Fei will need to team up with a skilled blacksmith and a reluctant swordsman to beat the odds and avenge his fallen brothers.
