Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Pirates from Japan and China itself are disturbing the equanimity of 13th-century China, and the Emperor dispatches a trustworthy officer and a small band of men to deal with them. Plenty of action follows, as even the officer's wife knows kung fu (and uses it), and the pirates receive their just deserts from the Emperor's men.
