When the Shaolin Masters have just perfected a new style of kung fu they are brutally killed by someone. Chan flaunts the manual to this technique in order to flush out the murderer. In the process he must contend with many others who desire the book. Eventually he locates the killer and must put to use the "Eight Steps of the Snake and Crane" in order to extract his revenge. Plenty of kung fu in this fairly routine tale of revenge.

(5/10)
