Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A valuable shipment of silver shimmers in the eyes of a deadly collection of determined thieves in this fast-moving martial arts classic starring Angela Mao, Lo Lieh, and Philip Kao Fei. When a lowly wagon driver with the skills of a martial arts master is hired by a legendary thief known as The Sparrow for the purpose of hijacking a large shipment of silver, the pair are quick to realize they're not the only ones looking to claim the treasure as their own. The dreaded Three Scars Gang has some big plans of their own for the silver, and if they don't get to it first the dreaded master of the flying guillotine most certainly will. As the race gets underway to get to the silver first, the stage is set for a martial arts battle royal in which fists will fly and heads will roll.
