Summary
  A bitter master of a martial arts clan allies himself with ninja for the title of greatest fighter in China. When the ninja steal a sacred scroll of martial arts from the Shaolin Temple, the monks send their champion out to recover it. Complications arise when the hero joins forces with the master's daughter, and when a samurai challenges him to prove the superiority of Japanese swordsmanship.
