 This movie follows the legendary folk-hero Fong Sai-Yuk in his youth. When Sai-Yuk becomes a young adult, his parents send him to study kung fu at a Shaolin temple. The old master of the temple knows his family and is happy to have Sai-Yuk as a student, but the sub-master thinks the young pupil is over-confident and lacks the discipline necessary to be properly trained in Shaolin kung fu. If he wants to continue his training, Sai-Yuk must prove himself worthy to both his teacher and his fellow pupils.
