Plot

During China's Qing dynasty, Lin Zhi-Ming, a young man who was orphaned as a boy, is raised as a monk by the Northern Shaolin school. A silver ankle bracelet is the only reminder of his past life. Zhi-Ming continues to wear it in secrecy from the temple's elders. Despite being a devout student of Shaolin, Zhi-ming tends to break many of the monastery's rules, such as sneaking in meat to temple grounds or teaching the school's secrets to outsiders. Zhi-Ming regularly meets some of the local youth and unofficially accepts them as his disciples; two of the youths are chosen to perform Lion dancing at the birthday of the magistrate He Suo, who was responsible for the deaths of Zhi-ming's family. To get his revenge, Zhi-ming persuades the youth to let him perform instead.
