A fierce fighter sworn to peace is driven to break his oath of non-violence when a vicious gang of criminals attacks his elderly mother in a brutal martial arts extravaganza starring Li Chin Kun and Lan Kung Hsun. The once-peaceful Chinese countryside has become a brutal landscape of death and punishment as unruly thugs disregard the law to set out to punish the innocent. Though the one fighter with the power to defeat the remorseless ruffians has promised his ailing mother that he will never again raise his fists in anger, an attack on his home proves too much to bear; forcing the skilled young fighter to teach the rampaging thugs a painful lesson in respecting their elders. Now, after traveling to the city and planting the seeds of descent in the highest ranks of the criminal elite, this once-humble warrior is about to get physical as he lays waste to any and all criminals foolish enough to stand in his devastating path of destruction.
