Overview
Former Shaolin man Marshal Kao takes his former classmates prisoner and, instead of executing them, proposes to his Qing commander that he torture them until they’re willing to fight on behalf of the Qings. The ‘torture’ comes to look increasingly like strenuous kung fu training with Kao putting the prisoners through their paces. The Qing governor and his aides become suspicious of Kao’s motives, although the beautiful Princess Shao Lung develops her own ideas about him.

Viewing Notes
Unusual film made outside of the Shaw system despite Ti Lung still being with the studio at the time. And Ti Lung is a villain in this or at least straddling the line but he does do some murdering, too. Wu Ma has long hair here, a wig I presume, and also lets his character get killed.
