Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
In this adventure-drama set in 1925, a local feudal lord in Southern China is hated by the citizenry but his only real opposition comes from two gangs of bandits. One of the gangs captures a student who happens to come across them by accident. After a brief period of time, the student starts to fall for the daughter of the gang leader, but he is not alone, as a particularly daring bandit poses more than enough competition for her affections. As for cultural barriers, the student worries over the fact that his love's mother may have been murdered by her father, the bandit leader.
