Overview
A patriot finds evidence that the government is collaborating with a foreign power. If the people knew about the deception, they would revolt and overthrow the corrupt government. One patriot in office steals the proof and must make it out of the country. He gets assistance from a local rebel leader who is in charge of a motley group of fighters called the Shanghai 13. Not all of them can be trusted, as some of them will turn in the government official. Our weak protagonist must run a gauntlet of the who’s who already mentioned.

Viewing Notes
One of the last films Cheng Cheh directed and boy is it a hoot! Would love to see an upgraded release on Blu-ray but this DVD from Terracotta is pretty darn good. May have to bring this one to a movie night. Loaded cast of Venoms plus Ti Lung and other notable actors from the Shaw Bros stable.
