The classic Shaw Brothers martial arts film Temple of the Red Lotus introduced audiences to Jimmy Wang Yu, a skinny young kid who would one day become the star of the One-Armed Swordsman and Chinese Boxer films! Wu (Jimmy Wang Yu) journeys to meet his bride-to-be Lian Chu (Chin Ping), but his future in-laws are constantly under attack by the vicious Red Lotus Sect. What Wu doesn't realize is that his future family belongs to a gang of ruthless bandits warring with the Red Lotus Sect, and there is a price for knowing their identity. Wu wants out, and wishes to take Lian Chu with him, but to get out he has to defeat each member of the family one by one! And even if he gets out, what of the Red Lotus Sect? And who is the mysterious Red Lady Sword (Ivy Ling Po)? An exciting martial arts action film with surprising touches of emotion, Temple of the Red Lotus started a Shaw Brothers franchise that would go on to include the films The Twin Swords and The Sword and the Lute.


En route to the Kan Castle, Kwei Wu tries to prevent a gang of masked bandits from waylaying a convoy carrying silver bars, but is knocked unconscious. Regaining his senses, Kwei Wu finds he was rescued by a girl named Scarlet Maid. He tells her his parents were killed by bandits and he has taken up boxing and fencing lessons to avenge them; he is on his way to marry his childhood sweetheart and search for his lost aunt.
With information from the Scarlet Maid, Kwei Wu reaches Kan Castle and is married to Lien Chu. However, he is started to find that his father-in-law Kan Lung is the ringleader of the masked bandits. He persuades Lien Chu to run away with him and they fight their way to safety.
On their way, they find that the monks and nuns of the White Lotus Temple are kidnapping innocent girls to satisfy the lust of the Red Lotus Temple gang. They try to rescue the girls and learn from the captives that Kan Lung is actually a righteous man who took part in the robbery to help a certain convoy agent. They regret their escape. After fleeing from an ambush, they decide to return to Kan Castle.
Approaching Red Lotus Temple, they spot the bandits with their girl prisoners. A further check reveals that the real monks and nuns are driven out of the temple which is taken over by the disguised bandits. They are outwitted by the bandits and Lien Chu is taken prisoner. Kwei Wu rushes back to Kan Castle for help.
Meanwhile, Kan Lung is angry at Kwei Wu’s gateway. A member of his castle attempts to attack the Red Lotus Temple. Worried over his safety, Kan Lung takes his whole family on a rescue mission. On their way, they find a repentant Kwei Wu, who requests the rescue of Lien Chu. Kwei Wu is kept in custody in the castle as punishment until the return of the rescue party.
When Kan Lung and his party arrive at Red Lotus Temple, they realize this is another trap. Having sustained heavy casualties, they finally manage to break into the place where Lien Chu is held prisoner. Before they can do anything to save the girl, the whole party is locked up by a contraption controlled from the outside. The bandit chief seals the steel cabin and feeds poisonous gas into it.
Kwei Wu, after gaining the sympathy of the grand aunt, rushes to the spot just in time to save the rescue party. But Lien Chu is missing. A corpse is found whom they mistake for Lien Chu. They later learn that Lien Chu had been saved by the Scarlet Maid.
Having nursed Lien Chu back to health, Scarlet Maid escorts her to her home at Kan Castle where the ground is strewn with dead bodies, and the grand aunt is the only survivor. Scarlet Maid, realizing the massacre is the work of the Red Lotus bandits, returns to the Temple to deal with the thugs.
At the Temple, Kan Lung and others are still trying to fight their way out. The timely arrival of Scarlet Maid rescues all. She points out that the bandit chief is actually the murderer of Kwei Wu’s parents, and she herself is Kwei Wu’s aunt. To ensure that the Red Lotus bandits are completely destroyed, they set fire to the Temple before returning to the Kan Castle.
