A kung-fu expert named Ma (Kwan Fung) is meeting local masters and teaching them that his abilities are the strongest and by that, I mean that he keeps kicking the ass of hapless fighters. Three of those fighters and their master are destroyed by him and they lose their faith in their skills and seek out a new master to teach them how to get revenge.
From learning crane style to a kicking lesson from a bean curd seller and discovering the skills of pole fighting from a fisherman, the three students expand their skills while their teacher alternates between drinking and becoming a sword fighter.
This might not be the finest of the Shaw Brothers movies, but even an ordinary film from this story is extraordinary by comparison to a normal film.
