Supposedly, this script was written for Jackie Chan in mind. Nevertheless, I guess as a consolation prize, it does have one of Jackie's classmates, Kan Chia Fung. The star of the film is Liu Chia Liang's nephew, Jimmy Liu, who plays the son (named Lung Hsia) of the leader of the Dragon Boxing sect, Lung Chen Tien (Liu Ho Nien). An exiled member of the Dragon Boxing sect, Ling Ko Fung (Hwang Jang Lee), arrives in town to claim leadership of the sect by challenging Lung Chen Tien in a duel. The winner of the duel will receive the sacred golden tablet and become sect leader. Lung Chen Tien dies after the match and then relinquishes the tablet to Ling Ko Fung. After further investigation, Ling Ko Fung notices that the tablet is a fake, and vows to obtain the original at any cost-that means killing everybody. Lung Hsia and his Mom, Li Hua (Kan Chia Fung), go into hiding, heal their wounds, and plan their payback against Ling Ko Fung.
