Upon his arrival at his destination, Lung tells him that a pretty girl, Lin Hsien-erh (Ching Li) has offered to marry any person who can kill Mei Hua in revenge for the murder of her father. At night, Li is attacked by some swordsmen, who suspect he is the notorious Mei Hua, but he is rescued by Ah Fei. The Shaolin abbot, Hsin Mei, is elected to judge Li at a trial to establish whether he is Mei Hua or not. Li is then taken to the Shaolin Temple and there it is discovered that the Hsin Chien monk of the temple had stolen the booklet containing the secrets of the temple’s martial arts and in which was contained the real name of Mei Hua. The same monk was also responsible for devising the schemes to kill Li into which all the swordsmen entered, as all of them were competing for the hand of Lin Hsien-erh.The Hsin Chien monk is put to death, and later, Lin is killed by Hsiao-yun to stop her revealing the secret to Li. This finally exposes Lung’s identity as the notorious Mei Hua. The climax is reached when the sentimental Li works through the dilemma of whether or not to resist the attack of Lung, his old benefactor, who is determined to get rid of him.Player Go to Google Play/iTunes in case NO VLC apps was installed.
