Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A modern day Robin Hood baffles Shanghai police in this action-packed Shaw Brothers classic starring Lo Lieh, Yueh Hua, and Connie Chen Pao-chu. He goes by the name "The Lizard," and takes great joy in redistributing the wealth of the corrupt upper class - but who is this benevolent and fearless bandit? When the crooked police chief realizes the notorious thief has the unique ability to scale walls just like his namesake, it's only a matter of time until the Lizard runs out of luck. But this is one Lizard who knows how to fight, and he doesn't plan on spending any time behind bars.
