An overly ambitious president schemes to murder a high-ranking general so that he may claim the emperor's throne. But the general proves to be a more formidable adversary than he realized. The team of real-life kung-fu champion Chen Kuan-Tai and director Pao Hsueh-Li was a productive one; resulting in such classic hits as 'The Boxer From Shantung'; 'Man Of Iron' and 'Iron Bodyguard'. This powerful saga is one of their last together; as well as one of their most sweeping. It tells of the battle between a usurper of the throne and the patriots; led by Chen; who backs a Yunnan Governor just after the revolution. 81 min. English dubbed.
