Description

Jimmy Wang Yu writes, directs and stars in this martial arts action drama. A band of Japanese marauders led by Shinobu Hashimoto (Lung Fei) demand a large sum of money from the inhabitants of a small Chinese coastal village. If the residents cannot pay, their homes will be destroyed.

When wandering swordsman Hsia Feng (Wang Yu) happens upon the village and witnesses the people's plight, he volunteers to help. As the deadline imposed by the Japanese approaches, Feng brings together a team of skilled warriors to join the fight and train the villagers to defend themselves. Will they succeed in defeating their enemy?
