The 11th Prince (Gordon Liu) travels to Peking for the naming of the heir to the throne. The 4th Prince (Frankie Wei Hung), fearing that the 11th Prince might be named heir, seeks to have the 11th Prince assassinated with the help of a General (Lo Lieh). The 11th Prince, whose name is Wang Yen Ching, is a prince who loves paintings, wine, and gung fu. Along his way to the palace in Peking, he meets up with a con man named Ho Chi aka Dirty Ho (Wong Yu). Wang gets Ho to be his servant/disciple by offering him the antidote to his nasty cut on his head that looks rotten. (Literal Chinese translation of this movie is Rotten Head Ho!) At first Ho is a disgruntled servant with the intentions of getting his head cured, but after a while Ho is willing to be the 11th Prince's servant. Good movie. Check out the parts of the film where the 11th Prince spars with his hosts (Wang Lung Wei, Hsiao Ho, and Wilson Tong) as they are "faking" polite conversation. A history lesson: The character in this flick played by Wong Yu, Ho Chi, was in fact a real person. He was a beggar and thief who was caught stealing by some ruthless Manchurians and beaten badly. Soon, Ho Chi was taken into Shaolin and treated for wounds. While at Shaolin, Ho learned gung fu for several years and left after he figured his skills were good. Upon leaving, Ho formed the "Blood Brothers" clan.
