The Jade Faced Tiger (Chen Hung Lieh), leads his mountain gang to capture a government official's son (Wong Chung). The Jade Faced Tiger and his gang have plans to use the governor's son as bait to get their leader back in an exchange. The Golden Swallow (Cheng Pei Pei), a renown swordsman (in fact a woman!), arrives in town to get her brother back at any cost but finds out the task is tough. Luckily for her, a nosy drunkard named Fan Ta Pei aka Drunken Cat (Yueh Hua) is always at the scene to lend a helping hand. Ultimately, the Golden Swallow is able to rescue her brother, but when a nemesis (Yang Chih Hing) of Fan Ta Pei’s past appears on the scene, the Drunken Cat must do away with his sympathies and realize its kill or be killed.
