“Lo Jui plays [as] Sun Yu Ting, a kung fu fanatic in search of a teacher. After five years of challenging masters [and being] unbeaten, he runs into Hsu Shi (William Yen), a young Shaolin monk who stole money from a gambling match to [buy] meat and wine for his master; [and brought him in] inside the Buddhist temple. Although Hsu's master defeats [Sun Yu Ting] with ease, [Hsu’s master] refuses to take him [in] as a student. [Sun Yu ting] then resorts to [funny tricks] to try to learn techniques from the aged monk. Eventually, these antics come to the attention of the senior abbot who expels Sun Yu Ting from the temple…
Yu is only allowed back into the temple after he rescues a girl escaping from the dreaded Skyhawk clan. The head of the gang is a chief Lama and sworn enemy of Shaolin who, twelve years ago, stole one of temple's most treasured martial arts manuals, the i-ching manual. Hsu Shi's master eventually agrees to take Yu Ting [in] as a student, but lessons are cut short when the chief Lama [shows] up and kills the master (who was his ex-master). Yu now swears revenge, but … he has to learn the Buddhist’s Finger technique first—the only style that can defeat the Lama‘s chief—[before he can leave the temple].”
