Directed by Hsieh Chun, from a script by Chang Cheh, this classic example of "martial chivalry" films marks one of screenwriter Chang's first forays into the genre, and occupies a significant place in the development of the modern kung fu movie. Young heartthrob Chiao Chuang plays the title character, a swordsman who avenges the murders of six comrades in battle against the notorious monks of the Chao Ching Monastery.


Five out of seven knights are killed in a battle against the notorious monks of Chao Ching Monastery. The mortally wounded sixth knight, Li Kwai, only lives long enough to tell Wen Su-chen, leader of the group, what has happened.
Disguised as a scholar and accompanied by two pageboys, Wen Lung and Wen Hu, Wen arrives at the monastery asking for accommodations. After undergoing exhaustive questioning by Abbot Ming Kung, he is accepted.
Wen Su-chen discovers a secret passage at night, which leads to a dungeon where he finds one of the “Five Tigers of Chao Ching,” thrashing carpenter Yu Ta, molesting his wife and younger sister. Wen Su-chen kills the bully and sets the victims free. Ho then rushes over to the office of Roving Inspector Lin Ti-an who is nearly assassinated. Having been rescued in time, the Inspector begs Wen Su-chen to search for the list containing the names of the Chao Ching Gang.
In the Imperial Court, two officials, Ching Wang and Pei Chien, have been plotting to usurp the throne. The Emperor sends Inspector Lin out to investigate. The plotters have secretly ordered Magistrate Wang of Chien Tang County to recruit, through bribes, the services of Ming Kung and the “Five Tigers” to assassinate the Inspector. A “Tide Watching Pavilion” is built as a decoy, and the gang invites the Inspector there to “watch the tide”.
Ming Kung, who suspects Wen Su-chen of killing his henchman in the dungeon, invites him to the “tide watching” party. Inspector Lin manages to go up the pavilion with Wen Su-chen at his side. Before he has a chance to leave, Ming Kung releases a carrier pigeon as a signal for action. Wu Hsing, acting on orders, cuts the ropes supporting the pavilion. As the structure sways, ringleader Tao Hsiung and his men plunge into the river to join the violent battle in the water.
Tao Hsiung captures Hung Yu, Inspector Lin’s daughter, and takes her to an abandoned temple, where Wen Su-chen rescues her. Su-chen hangs the ringleader in an old well and forces him to surrender the gang’s register. In the meantime, he manages to revive the fainted Hung Yu. Both soaked to the skin, they have to undress and dry their clothes over a fire. The two, alone in a desolate temple and in distress, fall in love but keep their passions in check.
Pageboy Wen Lung saves the life of Hsin Yen, Hung Yu’s maid, but is killed in an ambush while taking her to the temple. Hsin Yen is later tied to one of the temple’s secret contraptions.
Inspector Lin is rescued by the other pageboy, Wen Hu and taken back to his office. Lin issues an order for the arrest of Magistrate Wang and sends men out to search the Chao Ching Monastery. Wen Hu is out searching for Hung Yu and Wen Su-chen.
Wen Su-chen turns Hung Yu over to Inspector Lin’s men, and rushes back to the monastery where a battle is raging between Lin’s men and the gangsters. As Ming Kung is losing, he suddenly sets the contraptions in motion. When Wen Su-chen breaks into the Scripture Hall looking for Hsin Yen, he gets trapped. Hsin Yen saves Wen Su-chen by holding on to the contraption to avoid the explosion of an incendiary bomb. But she is killed by the blast.
Wen Su-chen discovers the list of the gang members. As he fights his way out, he is almost killed by an iron hook thrown at him. The notorious monk, Ming Kung hurls another bomb at Wen Su-chen who manages to get away from the explosion. The bomb kills Ming Kung.
Having vanquished his foes, Wen Su-chen returns to Inspector Lin with the list. His mission is complete.
