When three martial artists - the drifter Lei Xun (Derek Yee), the gambler Qian Yi-duo (Jason Pai) and the daughter of a martial arts warlord Ye Qing-hua (Lau) find themselves suspected of being responsible for a series of murders in the world of kung-fu, they attempt to uncover the truth behind the killings, including a vital clue which they may obtain by infiltrating the Shaolin Temple. However, one of the three heroes may not be on the side of good, after all.
