About the title
China during the Qing dynasty. Poor orphan Chien Fu accidentally saves the life of kung fu master Pai Cheng-Cheng, the last surviving representative of the Snake Fist school, wiped out by the sinister Eagle Claw clan. The noble master takes the young man as his student to pass on the secrets of his fighting style. The student proves so talented that, building on his teacher's techniques, he even creates a style of his own - a most timely invention, since it will soon face its harshest test when a horde of Eagle Claw disciples, led by the invincible Shen Kuan, track down Pai Cheng-Cheng and come to kill him.
